The subwavelength imaging phenomenon in Maxwell's fisheye lens with one drain has been reported previously. In this paper, we theoretically find that coherent perfect absorbers (CPAs) perform well in generalized Maxwell's fisheye (GMFE) lenses. Such CPAs are embedded inside the GMFE lenses to absorb the incoming coherent waves. They can be served as drains and dramatically improve the resolution of images in the GMFE lenses. In particular, they can be applied to realize the subwavelength imaging. We also study the multiple imaging characteristics of GMFE lenses with several CPAs in wave optics. Full-wave simulations were performed to verify the imaging functionalities.
