Nano-jet related to Bessel beams and to super-resolutions in microsphere optical experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
The appearance of a Nano-jet in the microsphere optical experiments is analyzed by relating this effect to non-diffracting Bessel beams. By inserting a circular aperture with a radius of subwavelength dimension in the EM waist, and sending the transmitted light into a confocal microscope, the EM oscillations by the different Bessel beams are avoided. On this constant EM field evanescent waves are superposed. While this effect improves the optical-depth of the imaging process, the object fine-structures are obtained, from the modulation of the EM fields by the evanescent waves. The use of a combination of the microsphere optical system with an interferometer for phase contrast measurements is described.

Synthesis and super-resolution imaging performance of a refractive-index-controllable microsphere superlens
Microspheres can function as optical superlenses for nanoscale super-resolution imaging. The imaging performance is mainly affected by the size and refractive index of the microsphere. Precise control of these parameters is a challenging task but of fundamental importance to the further development of the technique. In this study, we demonstrate for the first time a nanoparticle-hybrid suspensi...
متن کاملGeneration of surface optical vortices by evanescent Bessel beams
We present that a set of high order Bessel beams 0 when internally reflected at a dielectric/vacuum interface can create distinct evanescent light modes in each of which the intensity distribution is restricted to a sub-wavelength region near the interface outside the dielectric. We believe that this could really facilitate lateral optical manipulation of nano-particles and neutral atoms alon...
متن کاملExotic optical elements generating 2D surface waves
Routine optical tasks of transforming and directing light beams are commonly done with lenses and mirrors. They are the workhorses in conventional systems, even for micro-optical systems. More sophisticated designs have brought novel and exotic functions, e.g., non-diffracting character via a Bessel beam [1], a dark spot via an optical bottle beam [2], and sub-λ confinement via a photonic nanoj...
متن کاملBessel beams: diffraction in a new light
Diffraction is a cornerstone of optical physics and has implications for the design of all optical systems. The paper discusses the so-called ‘non-diffracting’ light field, commonly known as the Bessel beam. Approximations to such beams can be experimentally realized using a range of different means. The theoretical foundation of these beams is described and then various experiments that make u...
