Evanescent Wave Illumination
When an electromagnetic wave (light) in a dielectric medium of index n1 is incident upon an interface of a different dielectric material of a lower optical density, n2 at an angle θ1 greater than the critical angle, θc = sin−1(n2/n1), total internal reflection (TIR) occurs. Although all of the incident energy is reflected, an electromagnetic field with exponentially decreasing intensity propaga...
متن کاملHeating and phase-space decompression of evanescent-wave cooled atoms by multiple photon reabsorption.
We show that multiple reabsorption of resonance-frequency photons in a cloud of evanescent-wave cooled atoms can have a significant influence on the cooling efficiency and maximum value of the atomic phase-space density.
متن کاملSurface delivery of a single nanoparticle under moving evanescent standing-wave illumination
We study the delivery of a submicrometre-sized spherical dielectric particle suspended in water and confined in an evanescent field in the proximity of a glass–water interface. When illuminated by a single evanescent wave, the particle is propelled along the glass surface by the radiation pressure. Illumination by two counter-propagating and coherent evanescent waves leads to the formation of a...
متن کاملSimultaneous evanescent wave imaging of insulin vesicle membrane and cargo during a single exocytotic event
The classical model of secretory vesicle recycling after exocytosis involves the retrieval of membrane (the omega figure) at a different site. An alternative model involves secretory vesicles transiently fusing with the plasma membrane (the 'kiss and run' mechanism) [1,2]. No continuous observation of the fate of a single secretory vesicle after exocytosis has been made to date. To study the dy...
متن کاملCharacteristics of Metal Enhanced Evanescent-Wave Microcavities
This article presents the concept of storing optical energy using a metallic air gap microcavity. Evanescent waves are stored in the air gap of a dielectric/metal/air gap/metal planar microcavity. For an air gap with a micron scale distance between the two metals, incident light excites the optical interface modes on the two metal-air interfaces simultaneously, being accompanied by enhanced eva...
