Terahertz near-field imaging.
A near-field probe is described that enables high spatial resolution imaging with terahertz (THz) pulses. The spatial resolution capabilities of the system lie in the range of few microns and we demonstrate a resolution of 7 microm using broad-banded THz pulses with an intensity maximum near 0.5 THz. We present a study of the performance of the near-field probes in the collection mode configura...
متن کاملImaging the near field
In an earlier paper we introduced the concept of the perfect lens which focuses both near and far electromagnetic fields, hence attaining perfect resolution. Here we consider refinements of the original prescription designed to overcome the limitations of imperfect materials. In particular we show that a multilayer stack of positiveand negative-refractive-index media is less sensitive to imperf...
متن کاملDielectric versus topographic contrast in near-field microscopy
Using a fully vectorial three-dimensional numerical approach (generalized field propagator, based on Green’s tensor technique), we investigate the near-field images produced by subwavelength objects buried in a dielectric surface. We study the influence of the object index, size, and depth on the near field. We emphasize the similarity between the near field spawned by an object buried in the s...
متن کاملNear-field imaging with far-field data
Using the inverse diffractive grating problem as an example, we demonstrate how a super-resolution can be achieved stably by using far-field data. The idea is to place a slab of a homogeneous medium with a large index of refraction above the grating surface, and more propagating wave modes can be utilized from the far-field data which contributes to the reconstruction resolution. © 2016 Elsevie...
متن کاملTime as a Contrast Mechanism in Near-Field Imaging
Any modulation of a detected signal can be used as a contrast mechanism in imaging applications. Insofar as the time dependence of optical properties of imaged structures can be used to elucidate material properties, such time dependencies can provide a modulation which can then be used as a contrast mechanism in imaging. We introduce a system in which time can be used as a contrast mechanism t...
