The optical properties of a match-like plasmonic nanostructure are numerically investigated using full-wave finite-difference time-domain analysis in conjunction with dispersive material models. This work is mainly motivated by the developed technique enab ...
The damping behavior of bent fiber near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) probes operating in tapping mode oscillation is investigated in air and water. We show that the significant drop in probe quality factor Q, which occurs at the air-water inter ...
We present fast high-roughness and non-contact surface measurements by digital holographic microscopy (DHM). By using single- and dual-wavelength operation modes, coupled with advanced image stitching and non-measured points management methods, the techniq ...
Reflection digital holographic microscopy (DHM) is a very powerful technique allowing measuring topography with a sub-nanometer axial resolution from a single hologram acquisition. But as most of interferometer methods, the vertical range is limited to hal ...
We present a systematic numerical investigation of conical metal tips which are commonly used in tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS). Different from previous studies, we focus on how the tip length and the illumination condition influence the local fiel ...
The variety of microstructures that form at low solidification speed in peritectic alloys, bands, and islands, or even coupled (or cooperative) growth of the primary alpha and peritectic beta phases, have been previously explained by nucleation-growth mech ...
Introduction Definitions of microlens and Challenges for small size 2. High Resolution Interference Microscope (HRIM) System and Upgraded features 5 frame phase shift algorithm 3. Principle of characterization of microlenses Standard tests Unconventiona ...
The invention relates to large-field high-resolution microscopy and photolithography setups operating with polychromatic light. It includes the use of a plurality of focusing micromirrors. ...
Stimulated emission depletion (STED) resolves fluorescent features that are closer than the far-field optical diffraction limit by applying a spatially modulated light field keeping all but one of these features dark consecutively. For estimating the effic ...
Observations of real-time changes in living cells have contributed much to the field of cellular biology. The ability to image whole, living cells with nanometre resolution on a timescale that is relevant to dynamic cellular processes has so far been elusi ...
