We have demonstrated that the strong and far-field focusing of a point source and a plane wave in a two-dimensional photonic-crystal-based concave lens by the use of the standard finite-difference time-domain simulations. The effect of the distance between the point source and the lens on the focusing is discussed. The far-field focus of a plane wave is shown. In addition, a plane wave is formed with placing the source at the focus point. According to the calculation, the strong and good quality far-field focusing of the transmitted wave, explicitly following the well-known wave beam negative refraction law, can be realized. Moreover, the spatial frequencies information of the Bloch mode in multiple Brillouin zones is investigated in order to indicate the wave propagation in two different regions.
