Fundamental limits to optical response in absorptive systems.
At visible and infrared frequencies, metals show tantalizing promise for strong subwavelength resonances, but material loss typically dampens the response. We derive fundamental limits to the optical response of absorptive systems, bounding the largest enhancements possible given intrinsic material losses. Through basic conservation-of-energy principles, we derive geometry-independent limits to...
متن کاملFundamental limits of optical microrheology.
We estimate the fundamental limits of different microrheological techniques based on optical detection. It is suggested that particle tracking systems using nondifferential detection have a minimum detectable displacement given by 0.2(lambda0/NA)(1/square root of (SNR)), where lambda0 is the wavelength, NA is the numerical aperture of the focusing objective, and SNR is the signal-to-noise ratio...
متن کاملFundamental Limits to Cellular Sensing
In recent years experiments have demonstrated that living cells can measure low chemical concentrations with high precision, and much progress has been made in understanding what sets the fundamental limit to the precision of chemical sensing. Chemical concentration measurements start with the binding of ligand molecules to receptor proteins, which is an inherently noisy process, especially at ...
متن کاملFundamental Limits of Data Analytics in Sociotechnical Systems
In the Big Data era, informational systems involving humans and machines are being deployed in multifarious societal settings. Many use data analytics as subcomponents for descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive tasks, often trained using machine learning. Yet when analytics components are placed in large-scale sociotechnical systems, it is often difficult to characterize how well the systems...
