半球形固体浸没透镜显微系统的透射光场研究

应用高数值孔径系统的矢量衍射理论研究了半球形固体浸没透镜(SIL)球面表面的反射对SIL系统透射场的影响.研究结果表明,半球形SIL球面表面的反射对SIL显微系统的透射光强产生很大的影响.然而,这种反射不改变半球形SIL显微系统的分辨率.SIL球面介质界面材料的折射率失配越大,透射光强减小越多.在SIL的球面表面涂上减反膜或者在物镜和SIL之间填充折射率较大（但比SIL的折射率小）的介质可以提高系统的透射光强.     

用两区π-相位滤波器改善超半球形固体浸没透镜显微系统的成像特性

利用矢量衍射理论分析了π-相位滤波器在超半球形固体浸没透镜显微系统中的超分辨特性.结果显示,光斑的增益、Strehl率和边瓣强度随相位区域边界呈现出同步的、只一个周期的振荡性变化.从辐射场和速逝场的角度解释了这种变化的原因.对于近场显微,速逝场起决定性作用.π-相位滤波器的相位区域边界角大于临界角时,才能产生较大的超分辨作用.滤波器边界参量等于0.743（对应的角度大于临界角）的π-相位滤波器,可以使系统分辨率提高16%.

固体浸没透镜用于飞秒三维光存储研究

为进一步提高光存储密度，利用固体侵没透镜（SIL）与数值孔径为0.55的长工作距离物镜对飞秒激光脉冲进行聚焦，完成了PMMA及石英介质上的存储实验,并对聚焦物镜焦点与SIL底面离焦时的介质内焦点位置和系统的数值孔径进行了模拟。实验结果表明：当聚焦物镜焦点与SIL底面适当离焦时，实际聚焦在介质内的焦点深度不断加深，且系统的有效数值孔径不断增大。利用这一结果，在距PMMA表面20μm的地方得到了点间距1μm，层间距2.5μm的6层空间点阵；在距石英介质表面15μm的地方获得了点间距为0.6μm，层间距为2.5μm的5层空间点阵，其存储密度可达1.1×1012bits/cm3。     

固体浸没透镜飞行高度的气浮控制

采用固体浸没透镜的光存储方法是提高光存储密度的比较实用的近场光存储方法,而严格控制SIL下底面与光存储介质之间的亚波长级距离是此光存储系统正常工作的前提.本文采用电容法测量SIL的飞行高度,采用弹性悬臂将SIL加载在转盘表面上,转盘以不同速度转动时SIL将悬浮在不同的高度.计算机首先采集到SIL的飞行高度信息,再与设定的飞行高度作比较,根据比较结果调整转盘转速,从而达到调整SIL飞行高度的目的.采用此方法,可以动态地将SIL的下底面控制在距高速转动的转盘表面上150～600 nm范围内的一定高度上.

FDTD方法对固体浸没透镜的光场分析

采用二维时域有限差分(2D-FDTD)方法研究了高斯光束通过固体浸没透镜(SIL)的光场分布特性.模拟结果表明,SIL的折射率越大,底面出射的光斑越小,但随离底面距离的增大光束很快展宽;当只有入射角大于全反射临界角、具有高空间频率的部分高斯光束聚焦到SIL底面金属膜中心的微孔时,针对不同直径的微孔,模拟了出射光场的分布,发现微孔直径在某一特定值时,出射光斑半径在距SIL底面近半个波长范围内无明显改变,该结果为增大SIL和存储介质间距的方案提供了理论依据.     

固体浸没透镜出射光场偏振特性研究

在固体浸没透镜近场光存储中, 光的偏振对近场光场分布具有很大的影响. 采用三维时域有限差分法, 对聚焦线偏振高斯光束通过固体浸没透镜后焦平面上各分量场分布及距离焦平面不同位置光斑图样进行了模拟. 结果表明在焦平面上及距离焦平面较近的近场区域, 出射光场在与入射光偏振垂直方向出现显著的场增强现象, 从而使光斑图样呈近似椭圆分布; 而在距焦平面较远的远场区域光斑图样趋向圆形对称分布.

基于FDTD的超透镜聚焦光场仿真

透镜是最基本的光学元件之一,也是基础光学和信息光学等课程的授课重点内容,但由于课时限制等原因,现有的光学课程对透镜内容的介绍仅局限于几何透镜。随着微纳光学的发展,由亚波长结构单元组成的超透镜由于其独特的特性已经被广泛的研究和应用。因此,在光学课程中引入超透镜发展的前沿知识,有助于激发学生对前沿微纳光学的学习兴趣,探索微纳光学领域的奥妙,为推动教研融合做出积极贡献。本文以对偏振不敏感的超透镜光学设计为例,基于FDTD模拟仿真展示平面波通过超透镜后的传播过程和聚焦光场分布。首先,对不同直径的圆柱型亚波长光栅进行全波仿真获得相位信息,根据相位值选取纳米柱单元作为超透镜的元胞结构单元,按照理想聚焦相位分布排布纳米柱从而获得超透镜整体结构,进一步借助FDTD仿真出平面波通过超透镜后的传播光场分布,最后对焦平面聚焦光场分布进行分析和总结。     

Dispersion effect in optical microscopy systems with a supersphere solid immersion lens

This paper studies the dispersion effect of the supersphere solid immersion lens (SIL) on a near field optical microscopy system by using the vector diffraction theory. Results show that when a real non-monochromatic beam illuminates a supersphere SIL microscopy, the dispersion effect of the SIL has an important influence on the image quality. As the wavelength bandwidth of the non-monochromatic beam increases, the size of the focused spot increases and its intensity decreases in near-field microscopy systems with a supersphere SIL.     

The validity of high-pass angular spectrum filter in solid immersion lens system

应用矢量方法计算了具有高通角谱滤波器的固体浸没透镜（SIL）系统的焦场分布。数值结果显示，对于径向（角向）偏振输入光，高通角谱滤波器可以减小SIL系统的光斑（暗斑）大小。然而，对于线性偏振输入光，简单的高通角谱滤波器不能够优化SIL系统的光场分布，也不能够改进系统的光存储密度。     

Theoretical study of optical recording with a solid immersion lens illuminated by focused double-ring-shaped radially-polarized beam

Based on the Richards–Wolf vector diffraction theory, the intensity distributions in the recording sample near a solid immersion lens are calculated for two different radially-polarized beams ( and modes). Numerical results show that a double-ring-shaped mode focusing has some excellent features in near-field optical storage, compared with a single-ring-shaped mode focusing. The recording density is markedly improved, the focal depth of the near-field recording system is substantially increased, and a subsurface recording is effectively obtained using the mode focusing.     

Field confinement with aberration correction for solid immersion lens based fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

The solid immersion lens (SIL) as a tool for increasing the field confinement as well as providing optimal performance by aberration compensation in a confocal fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) system is illustrated here. Using Zernike polynomials we show that aberration compensation and the resultant pre-shaping of the incident wavefront enables near diffraction-limited performance. This is explained based on vectorial computations for high apertures in the Debye approximation. The obtained axial resolution parameters are compared with the obtained diffusion times in a SIL-FCS experiment for measurements in solutions done at the single molecule level.     

Investigation of Optics in the 10–200μm Size Regime

Optical components and systems with dimensions between 10 and 200 mm are discussed with specific examples of testing, simulation, and assembly methods. This size regime, which is conventionally classified with micro-optics, offers attractive possibilities for next-generation micro-optics packaging. However, optics in this regime suffer from few available testing and simulation tools. Several theoretical application examples are described, including a high-index solid immersion lens and a pickup for optical data storage. Challenges and solutions for design and simulation, testing, and assembly of such systems are also discussed.     

Improving the resolution of a solid immersion lens optical system using a multiphase Fresnel zone plate

We propose a method to improve the resolution of near-field optical system with a solid immersion lens by using a multiphase level Fresnel zone plate. The analyses are based on scalar angular spectrum theory. The results show that the multiphase Fresnel zone plate can not only decrease the spot size but also decrease the sidelobe intensity and enhance greatly the diffractive efficiency compared with annular amplitude filter or binary 2-, 3-, 4-zone phase filter.
