Sub-Diffraction-Limited Optical Imaging with a Silver Superlens
Recent theory has predicted a superlens that is capable of producing sub–diffraction-limited images. This superlens would allow the recovery of evanescent waves in an image via ...
Nanolithography in the Evanescent Near Field
New applications in microscopy and nanofabrication have emerged from recent advances in the optical near field. This paper reviews the implications of using evanescently decayin...
Subwavelength Resolution in a Two-Dimensional Photonic-Crystal-Based Superlens
We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate single-beam negative refraction and superlensing in the valence band of a two-dimensional photonic crystal operating in the micro...
Non–diffraction-limited light transport by gold nanowires
We show that metal nanowires sustaining collective electron oscillations (surface plasmon polaritons) can be used as optical waveguides. Thereby, the use of a metal allows to ov...
Plasmonics-A Route to Nanoscale Optical Devices
The further integration of optical devices will require the fabrication of waveguides for electromagnetic energy below the diffraction limit of light. We investigate the possibi...
