Subwavelength-size solid immersion lens.
We report on the fabrication and characterization of nanoscale solid immersion lenses (nano-SILs) with sizes down to a subwavelength range. Submicrometer-scale cylinders fabricated by electron-beam lithography are thermally reflowed to form a spherical shape. Subsequent soft lithography leads to nano-SILs on transparent substrates for optical characterization. The optical characterization is pe...
متن کاملThird-order aberrations in GRIN crystalline lens: a new method based on axial and field rays.
This paper presents a new procedure for calculating the third-order aberration of gradient-index (GRIN) lenses that combines an iterative numerical method with the Hamiltonian theory of aberrations in terms of two paraxial rays with boundary conditions on general curved end surfaces and, as a second algebraic step has been presented. Application of this new method to a GRIN human is analyzed in...
متن کاملTransient photoinduced diffractive solid immersion lens for infrared microscopy
We present a scanning near-field infrared microscopy technique using transient solid immersion lenses as near-field probes. The transient SILs were formed by photoinducing a zone plate structure on the surfaces of semiconductor wafers with high indices of refraction. Lenses with different number of zones have been tested using gallium phosphide and silicon wafers and their focusing properties w...
متن کاملNear-field infrared imaging with a microfabricated solid immersion lens
We report imaging in the infrared with a microfabricated solid immersion lens. The integrated 15-mm-diameter lens and cantilever are fabricated from single-crystal silicon and scanned in contact with a sample to obtain an image. We demonstrate a focused spot size of l/5 and an effective numerical aperture of 2.5 with l59.3 mm light. The total power transmitted through the lens is a factor of 10...
متن کاملThermal Microscopy with a Microfabricated Solid Immersion Lens
The spatial resolution of infrared thermometry is limited by diffraction to dimensions close to the wavelength of the collected infrared radiation, typically 5 μm at room temperatures. Thermal properties variations, temperature gradients, and defects with dimensions smaller than the diffraction limit are inaccessible to far-field infrared thermometry. This work demonstrates a near-field method ...
