The History of Near-field Optics
This article provides a review of early work and developments in the field of near-field optics. The roots trace back to the letters exchanged between Edward Hutchinson Synge and Albert Einstein in 1928 and, because of the analogy to antenna theory and lightning rods, the origins project back to the time of Benjamin Franklin who discovered the wonderful Effect of Points both in drawing off and ...
متن کاملInverse Scattering in Near-field Optics
A regularized continuation method is developed for a two-dimensional inverse medium scattering problem in near-field optics, which reconstructs the scatterer of an inhomogeneous medium deposited on a homogeneous substrate from data accessible through photon scanning tunneling microscopy (PSTM) experiments. In addition to the ill-posedness of inverse scattering problems, two difficulties arise b...
متن کاملNewton’s rings in near-field optics
We show how Newton’s rings manifest themselves in near-field scanning optical microscopy and discuss how this effect can be used with topographic imaging to measure correlated roughness of thin films. In conventional optics, transmission through a thin nonabsorbing film depends on film thickness when multiple reflections from the film boundaries are coherent. Measurements and modeling of the tr...
متن کاملFrom near-field optics to optical antennas
July 2011 Physics Today 47 In a prophetic letter to Albert Einstein on 22 April 1928, Irish scientist Edward Hutchinson Synge proposed a microscopic imaging method in which an optical field scattered from a tiny gold particle could be used as a radically new light source. The gold particle, Synge argued, would act as a local probe of some sample of interest, with the scattered light transmitted...
متن کاملNumerical solution of inverse scattering for near-field optics.
A novel regularized recursive linearization method is developed for a two-dimensional inverse medium scattering problem that arises in near-field optics, which reconstructs the scatterer of an inhomogeneous medium located on a substrate from data accessible through photon scanning tunneling microscopy experiments. Based on multiple frequency scattering data, the method starts from the Born appr...
