High numerical aperture in multimode microstructured optical fibers.
Microstructured or "air-clad" fibers, with air holes surrounding a large core, have recently demonstrated much wider light-acceptance angles than conventional fibers. An original and accurate method is presented for determining the numerical aperture of such fibers using leaky modes. The dependence on length, wavelength, and various microstructure dimensions are evaluated for the first time for...
متن کاملHigh numerical aperture multilayer Laue lenses
The ever-increasing brightness of synchrotron radiation sources demands improved X-ray optics to utilise their capability for imaging and probing biological cells, nanodevices, and functional matter on the nanometer scale with chemical sensitivity. Here we demonstrate focusing a hard X-ray beam to an 8 nm focus using a volume zone plate (also referred to as a wedged multilayer Laue lens). This ...
متن کاملHigh numerical aperture singular beam scanning microscopy: preliminary experimental results
High sensitivity and a high speed nanoscale measurement becomes an important subject in modern industry, when analysis of high speed moving nanoscale objects on a surface is required. Recently we have shown a possible approach to this problem using singular beam microscopy. Singular beam microscopy performs scanning by utilization of the relative movement between the focused singular beam and t...
متن کاملTrapped ion imaging with a high numerical aperture spherical mirror
Efficient collection and analysis of trapped ion qubit fluorescence is essential for robust qubit state detection in trapped ion quantum computing schemes. We discuss simple techniques of improving photon collection efficiency using high numerical aperture (N.A.) reflective optics. To test these techniques we placed a spherical mirror with an effective N.A. of about 0.9 inside a vacuum chamber ...
متن کاملPhase retrieval for high-numerical-aperture optical systems.
We describe a phase retrieval approach for intensity point-spread functions of high-numerical-aperture optical systems such as light microscopes. The method calculates a generalized pupil function defined on a spherical shell, using measured images at several defocus levels. The resultant pupil functionsreproduce measured point-source images significantly better than does an ideal imaging model...
