Engineering the point spread function of layered metamaterials
Layered metal-dielectric metamaterials have filtering properties both in the frequency domain and in the spatial frequency domain. Engineering their spatial filtering response is a way of designing structures with specific diffraction properties for such applications as sub-diffraction imaging, supercollimation, or optical signal processing at the nanoscale. In this paper we review the recent p...
متن کاملMeasurement of the point-spread function in a layered system.
A laboratory facility to measure the point-spread function (PSF) of water with the addition of scattering layers is described. The PSF was measuredby using an approximately Lambertian source and a camera that viewed this source but focused at infinity. Measurements for various optical path lengths with the scattering layer in three separate regions, i.e., near the source, near the camera, and a...
متن کاملProgrammable vector point-spread function engineering.
We use two nematic liquid crystal spatial light modulators (SLM's) to control the vector point spread function (VPSF) of a 1.3 numerical aperture (NA) microscope objective. This is achieved by controlling the polarization and relative phase of the electric field in the objective's pupil. We measure the resulting VPSF's for several different pupil field polarization states. By using single fluor...
متن کاملMulticolour localization microscopy by point-spread-function engineering.
Super-resolution microscopy has revolutionized cellular imaging in recent years1-4. Methods relying on sequential localization of single point emitters enable spatial tracking at ~10-40 nm resolution. Moreover, tracking and imaging in three dimensions is made possible by various techniques, including point-spread-function (PSF) engineering5-9 -namely, encoding the axial (z) position of a point ...
متن کاملPoint spread function engineering in confocal scanning microscopy
Confocal scanning microscopes are imaging systems that are mainly featured by their unique depth-discrimination capacity when imaging three-dimensional objects. Along the past few years, our research group has done several attempts to improve their axial resolution by means of the so-called point-spread-function (PSF) engineering method. That is, by designing diffractive elements that properly ...
