Near-Field Imaging of Infinite Rough Surfaces
This paper is concerned with an inverse rough surface scattering problem in near-field optical imaging, which is to reconstruct the scattering surface with a resolution beyond the diffraction limit. The surface is assumed to be a small and smooth deformation of a plane surface. Based on a transformed field expansion, the boundary value problem with complex scattering surface is converted into a...
متن کاملNear-Field Imaging of Infinite Rough Surfaces in Dielectric Media
This paper is concerned with an inverse surface scattering problem in near-field optical imaging, which is to reconstruct the scattering surface of a dielectric medium with a resolution beyond the diffraction limit. It is a nontrivial extension of the authors’ work on near-field imaging of infinite rough surfaces from impenetrable to penetrable media [G. Bao and P. Li, SIAM J. Appl. Math., 73 (...
متن کاملNear-field thermal transistor.
Using a block of three separated solid elements, a thermal source and drain together with a gate made of an insulator-metal transition material exchanging near-field thermal radiation, we introduce a nanoscale analog of a field-effect transistor that is able to control the flow of heat exchanged by evanescent thermal photons between two bodies. By changing the gate temperature around its critic...
متن کاملNear-field Propagation in Planar Nanostructured Arrays
In suitably designed nanoscale systems the ultrafast migration of uv/visible electromagnetic energy, despite its nearfield rather than propagating character, can be made highly directional. At the photon level such energy migration generally takes a multi-step form, with each step signifying the transfer of an electromagnetic quantum between chromophores playing the transient roles of source/do...
متن کاملHeating of trapped atoms near thermal surfaces
We study the electromagnetic coupling and concomitant heating of a particle in a miniaturized trap close to a solid surface. Two dominant heating mechanisms are identified: proximity fields generated by thermally excited currents in the absorbing solid and time-dependent image potentials due to elastic surface distortions (Rayleigh phonons). Estimates for the lifetime of the trap ground state a...
