Resolving subwavelength objects with a crossed wire mesh superlens operated in backscattering mode
In this work, we demonstrate that a crossed-wires superlens operated in backscattering mode can resolve targets separated by a subwavelength distance. It is theoretically shown that the effect of the backscattered field on the return loss of a probe antenna is sufficiently strong to allow us to discriminate the targets over a broad range of frequencies. These properties have been experimentally...
متن کاملSubwavelength resolution in a two-dimensional photonic-crystal-based superlens.
We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate single-beam negative refraction and superlensing in the valence band of a two-dimensional photonic crystal operating in the microwave regime. By measuring the refracted electromagnetic waves from a slab shaped photonic crystal, we find a refractive index of -1.94 that is very close to the theoretical value of -2.06. A scanning transmission measure...
متن کاملFull-field subwavelength imaging using a scattering superlens.
Light-matter interaction gives optical microscopes tremendous versatility compared with other imaging methods such as electron microscopes, scanning probe microscopes, or x-ray scattering where there are various limitations on sample preparation and where the methods are inapplicable to bioimaging with live cells. However, this comes at the expense of a limited resolution due to the diffraction...
متن کاملSubwavelength imaging by a left-handed material superlens.
In this work, a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is employed to justify the superlensing effect of left-handed material (LHM) slabs. Our results demonstrate that subwavelength resolution can be achieved by LHM slabs with certain parameters. We present the dynamic feature of the imaging process and the dependence of physical parameters on the performance of the superlens. These result...
متن کاملImaging with subwavelength resolution by a generalized superlens at infrared wavelengths.
We demonstrate experimentally negative refraction by a photonic crystal prism and imaging of a point source by a photonic crystal slab at 1.5 microm wavelength. The photonic crystal structures were nanofabricated in a InGaAsP/InP heterostructure platform, and optical characterization was performed using a near-field scanning optical microscope. By designing a suitable lens surface termination, ...
