Roadmap on Label‐Free Super‐Resolution Imaging

VN Astratov, YB Sahel, YC Eldar… - Laser & Photonics …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Label‐free super‐resolution (LFSR) imaging relies on light‐scattering processes in
nanoscale objects without a need for fluorescent (FL) staining required in super‐resolved FL …

Conformal transformation optics

L Xu, H Chen - Nature Photonics, 2015 - nature.com
The field of transformation optics shows that media containing gradients in optical properties
are equivalent to curved geometries of spacetime for the propagation of light. Conformal …

From microscopy to nanoscopy via visible light

X Hao, C Kuang, Z Gu, Y Wang, S Li, Y Ku… - Light: Science & …, 2013 - nature.com
The resolution of conventional optical equipment is always restricted by the diffraction limit,
and improving on this was previously considered improbable. Optical super-resolution …

Upholding the diffraction limit in the focusing of light and sound

AA Maznev, OB Wright - Wave Motion, 2017 - Elsevier
The concept of the diffraction limit put forth by Ernst Abbe and others has been an important
guiding principle limiting our ability to tightly focus classical waves, such as light and sound …

Absolute instruments and perfect imaging in geometrical optics

T Tyc, L Herzánová, M Šarbort… - New Journal of Physics, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We investigate imaging by spherically symmetric absolute instruments that provide perfect
imaging in the sense of geometrical optics. We derive a number of properties of such …

Towards anti-causal Green's function for three-dimensional sub-diffraction focusing

G Ma, X Fan, F Ma, J De Rosny, P Sheng, M Fink - Nature Physics, 2018 - nature.com
In causal physics, the causal Green's function describes the radiation of a point source. Its
counterpart, the anti-causal Green's function, depicts a spherically converging wave …

Controlling birefringence in dielectrics

AJ Danner, T Tyc, U Leonhardt - Nature Photonics, 2011 - nature.com
Birefringence, from the very essence of the word itself, refers to the splitting of light rays into
two parts. In natural birefringent materials, this splitting is a beautiful phenomenon, resulting …

First experimental demonstration of an isotropic electromagnetic cloak with strict conformal map**

Y Ma, Y Liu, L Lan, T Wu, W Jiang, CK Ong, S He - Scientific Reports, 2013 - nature.com
In the past years quasi-conformal map** has been generally used to design broadband
electromagnetic cloaks. However, this technique has some inherit practical limitations such …

Wavelength-scale lens microscopy via thermal resha** of colloidal particles

A Vlad, I Huynen, S Melinte - Nanotechnology, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Lenses are by far the most simple tools for visualization. Although they are intrinsically
limited in resolution, recent efforts have aimed at focusing visible light in micro-scale lenses …

A Maxwell's fish eye lens for the terahertz region

J Liu, R Mendis, DM Mittleman - Applied Physics Letters, 2013 - pubs.aip.org
