SPECIAL TOPIC: NEAR-FIELD MICROSCOPY AND SPECTROSCOPY Scanning near-field optical microscopy with aperture probes: Fundamentals and applications

In this review we describe fundamentals of scanning near-field optical microscopy with aperture probes. After the discussion of instrumentation and probe fabrication, aspects of light propagation in metal-coated, tapered optical fibers are considered. This includes transmission properties and field distributions in the vicinity of subwavelength apertures. Furthermore, the near-field optical ima...

Electro-Optical Design of Imaging Payload for a Remote Sensing Satellite

Remote sensing using small spacecraft arising from multi-objective economic activity problems is getting more and more developed. These satellites require very accurate pointing to specific locations of interest, with high reliability and small latency. The space borne imaging systems always attempted to achieve the highest ground resolution possible with the available technology at the given t...

On the fundamentals of optical scanning holography

Optical scanning holography is a real-time holographic recording technique in which holographic information about a three-dimensional 3D object is acquired using a single two-dimensional active optical scan. Applications of the technique include optical scanning microscopy, pattern recognition, 3D holographic display, and optical remote sensing. This paper introduces the basics of optical scann...
