We describe a way to generate subdiffraction light spots that can be moved over a surface without resorting to near-field manipulation, nonlinear effects, or negative index materials. We use a periodically patterned substrate that converted efficiently, through scattering, the impinging propagative waves into evanescent ones. Then we optimize the wave front of the incident propagative beam so that the grating-scattered evanescent waves interfere constructively at the focal point. Numerical simulations show that focus spots as small as one-sixth of a wavelength can be obtained at any point on the substrate. One foreseen application is high resolution surface imaging. 相似文献

The characteristics of an imaging system formed by a left-handed material (LHM) slab of finite length are studied, and the influence of the finite length of the slab on the image quality is analyzed. Unusual phenomena such as surface bright spots and negative energy stream at the image side are observed and explained as the cavity effects of surface plasmons excited by the evanescent components of the incident field. For a thin LHM slab, the cavity effects are found rather sensitive to the length of the slab; the bright spots on the bottom surface of the slab may stretch to the image plane and degrade the image quality. 相似文献

We propose a simple setup for generating evanescent Bessel beams using the defect mode of one-dimensional (1D) photonic crystal. The angular selectivity provided by the defect mode mimics the role of an axicon for Bessel beam generation. When an azimuthally polarized beam is strongly focused onto a 1D defect mode photonic crystal interface, an evanescent Bessel beam of the first-order is produced, while an evanescent Bessel beam of the zeroth-order will be created under a radially polarized beam illumination. Switching between a donut shape and a solid focal distribution can be easily realized by controlling the polarization of the illumination. Such a versatile evanescent Bessel beam generation may find potential applications in optical trapping. 相似文献

A simple setup for generating evanescent Bessel beams is proposed. When a radially polarized beam is strongly focused onto a dielectric-metal interface, the entire beam is p-polarized with respect to the dielectric-metal interface, enabling excitation of surface plasmons from all directions. The angular selectivity of surface plasmon excitation mimics the function of an axicon, leading to an evanescent nondiffracting Bessel beam. The created evanescent Bessel beam may be used as a virtual probe for near-field optical imaging and sensing applications. 相似文献

Near-field characteristics of highly non-paraxial subwavelength optical fields with hybrid states of polarization 下载免费PDF全文
The vectorial structure of an optical field with hybrid states of polarization(So P) in the near-field is studied by using the angular spectrum method of an electromagnetic beam. Physical images of the longitudinal components of evanescent waves are illustrated and compared with those of the transverse components from the vectorial structure. Our results indicate that the relative weight integrated over the transverse plane of the evanescent wave depends strongly on the number of the polarization topological charges. The shapes of the intensity profiles of the longitudinal components are different from those of the transverse components, and it can be manipulated by changing the initial So P of the field cross-section. The longitudinal component of evanescent wave dominates the near-field region. In addition, it also leads to three-dimensional shape variations of the optical field and the optical spin angular momentum flux density distributions. 相似文献

Radiation pressure induced by an evanescent field was experimentally analyzed for a single submicrometer-sized gold particle. The force measurement was based on a thermodynamic analysis of Brownian motion by use of a three-dimensional position-sensing technique. The lateral radiation pressure could be ascribed to a scattering force, which was oriented in the same direction as the propagation vector of the incident laser beam. The potential profile in the longitudinal direction indicated that the gold particle was attracted to the high-intensity region of the evanescent field by a gradient force. 相似文献

We present two-photon fluorescence near-field microscopy based on an evanescent field focus produced by a ring beam under total internal reflection. The evanescent field produced by this method is focused by a high-numerical-aperture objective, producing a tightly confined volume that can effectively induce two-photon excitation. The imaging system is characterized by the two-photon-excited images of the nanocrystals, which show that the focused evanescent field is split into two lobes because of the enhancement of the longitudinal polarization component at the focus. This feature is confirmed by the theoretical prediction. Unlike other two-photon near-field probes, this method does not have the heating effect and requires no control mechanism of the distance between a sample and the probe. 相似文献

Diffracted field distribution from a knife-edge truncated semi-Gaussian beam as an atomic (molecular) mirror 下载免费PDF全文
We investigate the diffraction characteristics of an incident Gaussian
beam cut
by a straight edge bounding a semi-infinite opaque plane using Kirchhoff
scalar wave theory in the Fresnel limit, and propose a new and simple mirror
scheme to reflect atoms by using the intensity gradient induced by a
blue-detuned semi-Gaussian laser beam. The optical potential of the
diffracted light of the knife-cut semi-Gaussian beam for
$^{85}$Rb atom and its spontaneous emission probability are calculated and
compared with the performance of the evanescent-wave mirror. Our study shows
that the optical potential of the diffracted light of the semi-Gaussian beam
is far higher than that of the evanescent light wave, and the maximum normal
velocity of the incident atoms can be far greater than that of the
evanescent light wave under the same parameters, so the blue-detuned
semi-Gaussian beam, as a novel atomic mirror, can be used to efficiently
reflect cold atoms with a normal velocity of greater than 1 m/s. However,
the intensity gradient (force) of the diffracted light of the
semi-Gaussian-beam is much smaller than that of the evanescent light wave, so
its spontaneous emission probability is greater than that from the
evanescent-wave when the normal velocity of incident atoms is greater. 相似文献

A fully printed Veselago-Pendry lens (isotropic n=-1, epsilon(r)=-1, mu(r)=-1) is presented which is based on transmission-line metamaterials. The lens is constructed in a parallel-plate environment at 1.569 GHz and without any embedded sources and achieves a resolution better than the diffraction limit (full width half power of 0.235 lambda). Because the lens is low loss (<0.3 dB per unit cell), the focused fields are dominated by the evanescent components which dictates that subwavelength tightening of the beam is achieved only in the transverse and not the longitudinal direction. The demonstrated lens is quarter-wavelength thick thus allowing ample "working distance" between the subject/image and the lens. 相似文献

Realization of a near-field optical virtual probe based on an evanescent Bessel beam is strongly dependent on a radially polarized
beam; this makes it essential to study the focusing property of the beam. In this paper, two experimental setups based on
a fiber device and a liquid crystal device, respectively, are built to generate a radially polarized beam. This beam and an
annular radially polarized beam are focused by means of a high numerical aperture objective and a solid immersion lens (SIL).
Near-field distribution of the focus spot, the evanescent Bessel field, is experimentally measured with a scanning near-field
optical microscope (SNOM). The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the central peak of the evanescent Bessel field is about
200 nm in the close vicinity of the bottom surface of SIL. This has potential for use as a near-field optical virtual probe. 相似文献

When electromagnetic waves propagate through a wire grid, there will be some evanescent space harmonics generated around the wire grid. In this paper, we mainly investigate their effects on the transmission characteristics of a Gaussian beam by cylindrical wire grids. The results are compared with those without taking account of evanescent space-harmonics. 相似文献

The rich available transverse intensity structure of vector Bessel-Gauss beams make it important to probe into the focusing property by high numerical aperture objective. In this paper, we obtain the analytical expressions of azimuthally, radially and longitudinally polarized components in the focal area of the objective after tight focusing. Theoretical analysis and the numerical simulation show that, the transverse intensity distributions of the focused beams still have doughnut-like structure, two separate peak structure and circularly aligned array structure. The focused beam spots obtained by an objective with annular aperture usually have smaller spots than with circular aperture. The focused beam of the vector Bessel-Gauss beam with lowest mode number m = 0 is a radially and azimuthally polarized doughnut-like beam with no longitudinal component. These properties and results are useful in optical trapping and particle alignment. 相似文献

The transmission enhancement of a THz pulse through an Ag/Ag2O layer detected by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy 下载免费PDF全文
This paper reports a new way to detect the enhanced transmission of a THz electromagnetic wave through an Ag/Ag2O layer by THz-TDS (time-domain spectroscopy). As the THz beam illuminates the sub-wavelength Ag particles gained by Ag2O thermal decomposition, the evanescent wave is generated. The evanescent wave is coupled by a 500μm-GaAs substrate, which attaches behind the Ag/Ag2O layer, and then it transmits to the far field to be detected. The experimental results indicate that the transmitting amplitude is enhanced, as well as the frequent shifting and spectra broadening. 相似文献

A theoretical analysis of the electromagnetic field of a focused gaussian beam, like that produced by some lasers, indicates anomalies in the field distribution over the focal region. The transverse component of the electric field is shown graphically in this region using data obtained through the numerical integration of an expression that is exact according to Maxwell's equations. These data agree with the standard paraxial theories used to describe gaussian beams only asymtotically, in the limit of zero beam divergence about focus. As the divergence is increased, so that the beam is brought more sharply to focus, the gaussian beam evolves toward a dipole field from which all evanescent plane waves have been removed. Gaussian beams observed in nature should show some evidence of the associated anomalies, even if the beam is almost collimated. 相似文献

Linearly polarised three-colour lasing emission from an evanescent wave pumped and gain coupled fibre laser 下载免费PDF全文
A novel Whispering--Gallery--Mode (WGM) fibre laser,
emitting linearly polarised three-colour light, is demonstrated by
pumping and gain coupling with evanescent waves. The pump light is
longitudinally coupled into a bare optical fibre immersed in a dye
solution of lower refractive index. The dye molecules around the
bare fibre are excited by the evanescent waves of pump light when
they propagate along the fibre in a total internal reflection. When
the pump beam within the fibre is a meridian beam, the WGM lasing
emission from the fibre laser is a linearly polarised transverse
electric wave, while it is a mixed wave of the linearly polarised
transverse electric and magnetic waves if the pump beam is a skew
beam within the fibre. Because the excited molecules are located
within the evanescent field of WGM, a good spatial overlap between
the dye gain and the evanescent field leads to a high pumping
efficiency and a longer gain distance along the fibre. Once the bare
fibre is inserted into three glass capillaries filled with Rhodamine
6G, 610 and 640 dye solutions, respectively, WGM laser oscillations
at the wavelengths of 567--575, 605--614 and 656--666~nm occur
simultaneously, and a linearly polarised three-colour lasing
emission is achieved in a single optical fibre. 相似文献

Analytical nonparaxial vectorial electric field expressions for both Gaussian beams and plane waves diffracted through a circular aperture are derived by using the vector plane angular spectrum method for the first time,which is suitable for the subwavelength aperture and the near-field region.The transverse properties of intensity distributions and their evolutions with the propagating distance,and the power transmission functions for diffracted fields containing the whole field,the evanescent field and the propagating field are investigated in detail,which is helpful for understanding the relationship between evanescent and propagating components in the near-field region and can be applied to apertured near-field scanning optical microscopy. 相似文献

Two counter-propagating evanescent beams are used to align and manipulate polystyrene particles on a prism surface. Since the radiation pressure transferred laterally from the evanescent wave is negated on both sides, particles can be stably aligned. By projecting a circular and a linear beam spot onto the interface, both multiple and single arrays of particles are achieved. Arrays of particles trapped on the interface can be easily moved adjusting the intensity of incident beams on either side. We also simulate electromagnetic distribution of scattering light that is converted from the evanescent wave using the FDTD method. The results show that scattering light converts from an evanescent wave propagating through a particle array and has a distance longer than that propagating from a normal evanescent wave. 相似文献
