Currently, the minimum feature size fabricated is about 15-40 nm. The resolution of Fresnel zone plates is limited by the width of the outermost zone. Although the photon sieves make it possible to focus soft X-rays to spot sizes smaller than the diameter of the smallest pinhole they have low diffraction efficiency. In order to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses of them, we propose a new model which is composed of Fresnel zone and pinholes and give its fast Fourier algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the resolution of photon sieves is not better than that of Fresnel zone plates in low order of local rings. In this case, we can substitute pinholes for Fresnel zone in photon sieves. Resolution is nearly a constant, and also the diffraction efficiency improves. 相似文献

基于快速傅里叶变换光束传播法,研究了硬X射线光子筛中高高宽比金属结构的波导效应,确定了硬X射线光子筛的物理边界条件,采用角谱法计算了硬X射线光子筛的点扩展函数,并分析了吸收体厚度对聚焦性能的影响.研究结果表明波导效应一定程度上有利于抑制光子筛高级衍射的产生,提高聚焦性能.在同样的特征尺寸下,硬X射线光子筛的空间分辨率优于菲涅尔波带片,其缺点是衍射效率的下降.吸收体厚度的提高有利于提高光子筛的聚焦性能和衍射效率,但是相应的纳米加工工艺难度会增加.

A novel diffractive optical element, named phase zone photon sieve
(PZPS), is presented. There are three kinds of phase plates in
PZPSs: PZPS1, PZPS2, and PZPS3. Each of the PZPSs has its own
structure and is made on quartz substrate by etching. The three
PZPSs have stronger diffraction peak intensity than a photon sieve
(PS) when the margin pinhole and zone line width are kept the same.
The PZPS3 can produce a smaller central diffractive spot than the
ordinary PS with the same number of zones on the Fresnel zone plate.
We have given the design method for and the simulation of PZPS and
PS. PZPS has potential applications in optical maskless lithography. 相似文献

Realizing a smaller or sharper diffractive center spot is a valuable research aim in soft X-ray focus and other related research applications. Fresnel zone plates (FZP) and photon sieves (PS) are often used to focus the X-rays or other wavelength light at present. Here, we show that combination of a super-resolution phase mask (SPM) and an FZP (or PS) as one diffractive optical element can realize a smaller or sharper diffractive center spot without significantly increasing the fabrication difficulty. All these diffractive phase elements can be applied to beam shaping, mask-less lithography, energy congregation in high power lasers, soft X-rays focus, and any other field that requires a smaller or sharper diffractive center spot. 相似文献

根据角谱理论建立不同偏振照明条件下的光子筛矢量衍射模型。在此基础上,对入射光分别为线偏振光、径向偏振光、切向偏振光三种特殊偏振状态下的光子筛聚焦光强分布进行了模拟分析。研究结果表明,对于大数值孔径光子筛,入射光的偏振特性将对光子筛聚焦光强分布产生巨大影响。线偏振光将使聚焦光斑沿偏振方向拉伸,切向偏振光产生的聚焦光斑具有"中空"结构,而径向偏振光所产生的聚焦光斑呈较为规则的圆形,且其焦深优于线偏照明情况。在激光直写及高分辨成像等光子筛典型应用中采用径向偏振照明将进一步提高系统分辨力。 相似文献

We have constructed an extremely precise optical system for hard-x-ray nanofocusing in a synchrotron radiation beamline. Precision multilayer mirrors were fabricated, tested, and employed as Kirkpatrick-Baez mirrors with a novel phase error compensator. In the phase compensator, an at-wavelength wavefront error sensing method based on x-ray interferometry and an in situ phase compensator mirror, which adaptively deforms with nanometer precision, were developed to satisfy the Rayleigh criterion to achieve diffraction-limited focusing in a single-nanometer range. The performance of the optics was tested at BL29XUL of SPring-8 and was confirmed to realize a spot size of approximately 7 nm. 相似文献

Toward two-dimensional nanometer resolution hard X-ray differential-interference-contrast imaging using modified photon sieves 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In this Letter, we report a significant step forward in the design of single-optical-element optics for two-dimensional (2D) hard X-ray differential-interference-contrast (DIC) imaging based on modified photon sieves (MPSs). MPSs were obtained by a modified optic, i.e., combining two overlaid binary gratings and a photon sieve through two logical XOR operations. The superior performance of MPSs was demonstrated. Compared to Fresnel zone plates-based DIC diffractive optical elements (DOEs), which help to improve contrast only in one direction, MPSs can provide better resolution and 2D DIC imaging. Compared to normal photon sieves, MPSs are capable of imaging at a significantly higher image contrast. We anticipate that MPSs can provide a complementary and versatile high-resolution nondestructive imaging tool for ultra-large-scale integrated circuits at 45 nm node and below. 相似文献

We present a type of diffractive lens, Zernike apodized photon sieves (ZAPS), used as the objective for high spatial resolution and high phase-contrast imaging of weakly absorbing materials in x rays. The structure of ZAPS is based on the combination of two concepts: apodized photon sieves and Zernike phase contrast. The ZAPS is a single optic that integrates the appropriate ±π/2 rad phase shift through selective zone placement shifts in an apodized photon sieve. Analysis of the focusing properties of the apodized photon sieve in terms of point-spread function show that the sidelobes have been significantly suppressed at the expense of slightly widening the width of the main lobe. In combination with synchrotron light sources, ZAPS offers new opportunities for high-resolution phase-contrast x-ray microscopy in the physical and life sciences. 相似文献

Single order soft X-ray diffraction with quasi-random radius pinhole array spectroscopic photon sieves 下载免费PDF全文
A novel single order diffraction grating in the soft X-ray region, called quasi-random radius pinhole array spectro- scopic photon sieves (QRSPS), is proposed in this paper. This new grating is composed of pinholes on a substrate, whose radii are quasi-random, while their centers are regular. Analysis proves that its transmittance function across the grating bar is similar to that of sinusoidal transmission gratings. Simulation results show that the QRSPS can suppress higher-order diffraction effectively. And the QRSPS would still retain its characteristic of single order diffraction when we take the effect of X-ray penetration into account. These properties indicate that the QRSPS can be used in the soft X-ray spectra measurement. 相似文献

We report on the temporal and spatial stability of the first tunable femtosecond undulator hard-x-ray source for ultrafast diffraction and absorption experiments. The 2.5-1 Angstrom output radiation is driven by an initial 50 fs laser pulse employing the laser-electron slicing technique. By using x-ray diffraction to probe laser-induced coherent optical phonons in bulk bismuth, we estimate an x-ray pulse duration of 140+/-30 fs FWHM with timing drifts below 30 fs rms measured over 5 days. Optical control of coherent lattice motion is demonstrated. 相似文献

A hard X‐ray scanning microscope installed at the Hard X‐ray Nanoprobe beamline of the National Synchrotron Light Source II has been designed, constructed and commissioned. The microscope relies on a compact, high stiffness, low heat dissipation approach and utilizes two types of nanofocusing optics. It is capable of imaging with ~15 nm × 15 nm spatial resolution using multilayer Laue lenses and 25 nm × 26 nm resolution using zone plates. Fluorescence, diffraction, absorption, differential phase contrast, ptychography and tomography are available as experimental techniques. The microscope is also equipped with a temperature regulation system which allows the temperature of a sample to be varied in the range between 90 K and 1000 K. The constructed instrument is open for general users and offers its capabilities to the material science, battery research and bioscience communities. 相似文献

A scanning transmission X‐ray microscope is operational at the 10A beamline at the Pohang Light Source. The 10A beamline provides soft X‐rays in the photon energy range 100–2000 eV using an elliptically polarized undulator. The practically usable photon energy range of the scanning transmission X‐ray microscopy (STXM) setup is from ~150 to ~1600 eV. With a zone plate of 25 nm outermost zone width, the diffraction‐limited space resolution, ~30 nm, is achieved in the photon energy range up to ~850 eV. In transmission mode for thin samples, STXM provides the element, chemical state and magnetic moment specific distributions, based on absorption spectroscopy. A soft X‐ray fluorescence measurement setup has been implemented in order to provide the elemental distribution of thicker samples as well as chemical state information with a space resolution of ~50 nm. A ptychography setup has been implemented in order to improve the space resolution down to 10 nm. Hardware setups and application activities of the STXM are presented. 相似文献

We present a new family of diffractive lenses whose structure is based on the combination of two concepts: photon sieve and fractal zone plates with variable lacunarity. The focusing properties of different members of this family are examined. It is shown that the sieves provide a smoothing effect on the higher order foci of a conventional lacunar fractal zone plate. However, the characteristic self-similar axial response of the fractal zone plates is always preserved. 相似文献

The control of the spontaneous emission (SE) rate of dye molecules (4-dicyanomethylene-2-methyl-6-p-dimethylaminostyryl-4H-pyran
(DCM) and Coumarin 523 (C523)) embedded in the Porous Silicon (PS) matrix has been studied using picosecond resolved fluorescence
decay and polarization studies. We have shown that the SE rates of the two organic dyes embedded in the PS matrix depend on
the relative positions of the emission maxima of the dyes with respect to electronic band gap energy of the PS matrix. We
have also explored that the electronic band gap of the host PS matrix can easily be tuned by partial oxidation of the PS and
the nature of SE of the embedded dyes can be tuned accordingly. The demonstrated retardation or enhancement of the spontaneous
photon emission may enable the application of fluorescent organic molecules in PS matrix in several quantum optical devices
including the realization of single photon sources. 相似文献

A single‐bounce capillary with an ellipsoidal shape has been used for two‐step focusing in combination with a Fresnel zone plate (FZP). The FZP serves as a first microfocusing element and produces a demagnified micrometer image of the source, before the elliptical capillary makes a last final compression of the beam. With 15 keV X‐rays from the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility BM5 bending magnet, the two‐step demagnification system produced a focus of about 250 nm with a gain of more than 1000. The use of an ellipsoidal capillary as a micro‐mirror under off‐axis illumination using micro‐prefocusing optics might open up new opportunities in nanofocusing developments. 相似文献

Tapered dielectric structure in metal as a wavelength-selective surface plasmon polariton focuser 下载免费PDF全文
Symmetric tapered dielectric structures in metal have
demonstrated applications such as the nanofocusing of surface
plasmon polaritons, as well as the waveguiding of V-channel
polaritons. Yet the fabrication of smooth-surfaced tapered structure
remains an obstacle to most researchers. We have successfully
developed a handy method to fabricate metal-sandwiched tapered
nanostructures simply with electron beam lithography. Though these
structures are slightly different from conventional symmetric
V-shaped structures, systematic simulations show that similar
functionality of surface plasmon polariton nanofocusing can still be
achieved. When parameters are properly selected,
wavelength-selective nanofocusing of surface plasmon polaritons can
be obtained. 相似文献
