Lateral resolution enhancement with standing evanescent waves.
A high-resolution fluorescence microscopy technique has been developed that achieves a lateral resolution of better than one sixth of the emission wavelength (FWHM). By use of a total-internal-reflection geometry, standing evanescent waves are generated that spatially modulate the excitation of the sample. An enhanced two-dimensional image is formed from a weighted sum of images taken at differ...
متن کاملMultilayer dielectric structure for enhancement of evanescent waves.
We describe a type of multilayer dielectric coating designed to enhance the intensity of evanescent waves. The coating consists of a stack of alternating high- and low-index quarter-wave layers followed by a final low-index layer whose thickness is chosen to optimize the evanescent-wave intensity. Indirect measurements of the film properties are in good agreement with theory.
متن کاملEvanescent Waves Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy and imaging can be classified as inductive techniques working in the near- to far-field regimes. We investigate an alternative capacitive detection with the use of micrometer sized probes positioned at sub wavelength distances of the sample in order to characterize and model evanescent electromagnetic fields originating from NMR phenomenon. We report that...
متن کاملAngular momentum in evanescent waves
We quantize the angular momentum of the electromagnetic field in a linear medium. We consider the interaction of an atom with an evanescent wave. We discuss the transfer of angular momentum in such a wave in relation to some recent experiments.
متن کاملWide-field extended-resolution fluorescence microscopy with standing surface-plasmon-resonance waves.
The resolution of conventional surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) imaging has been limited by the diffraction nature of light. A wide-field extended-resolution optical imaging technique, standing-wave SPR fluorescence (SW-SPRF) microscopy, has been developed. Based on evanescent SPR standing waves, SW-SPRF provides lateral resolution approaching 100 nm and offers the advantages of significant sign...
