Magnifying perfect lens and superlens design by coordinate transformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The coordinate transformation technique is applied to the design of perfect lenses and superlenses. In particular, anisotropic metamaterials that magnify two-dimensional planar images beyond the diffraction limit are designed by the use of oblate spheroidal coordinates. The oblate spheroidal perfect lens or superlens can naturally be used in reverse for lithography of planar subwavelength patterns.

Dielectric Optical-Controllable Magnifying Lens by Nonlinear Negative Refraction
A simple optical lens plays an important role for exploring the microscopic world in science and technology by refracting light with tailored spatially varying refractive indices. Recent advancements in nanotechnology enable novel lenses, such as, superlens and hyperlens, with sub-wavelength resolution capabilities by specially designed materials' refractive indices with meta-materials and tran...
متن کاملPlasmonic Lenses
The resolution of almost all conventional optical system is indispensably governed by the diffraction limit. This resolution limit can be overcome by use of focusing the evanescent waves in the near field region. The concept of “superlens” was proposed firstly by Pendry in 2000 [1]. When ε= -1and μ= -1, the negative refractive index material plate can be a perfect lens [2-4]. Because of the dis...
متن کاملPerfect cylindrical lenses.
A slab of negatively refracting material is known to focus light and if 1 n = the focussing will be perfect, producing an image which is an exact replica of the object. Magnifying the image requires a new design concept in which the surface of the negatively refracting lens is curved. Here we show how a hollow cylinder of material can be designed to magnify an image but otherwise with the same ...

متن کاملOptical resolution below λ/4 using synthetic aperture microscopy and evanescent-wave illumination
Evanescent-wave illumination is applied to synthetic-aperture microscopy on a transparent solid substrate to extend the resolution limit to λ/2(n+1) (where n is the substrate refractive index) independent of the lens NA. Using a 633 nm source and a 0.4 NA lens, a resolution to 150 nm (λ/4.2) is demonstrated on a glass (n = 1.5) substrate. Further extension to ~ 74-nm resolution (λ/8.6) is proje...
