Scattering Lens Resolves sub-100 nm Structures with Visible Light
arXiv:1103.3643 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.193905
Abstract
The smallest structures that conventional lenses are able to optically resolve are of the order of 200 nm. We introduce a new type of lens that exploits multiple scattering of light to generate a scanning nano-sized optical focus. With an experimental realization of this lens in gallium phosphide we have succeeded to image gold nanoparticles at 97 nm optical resolution. Our work is the first lens that provides a resolution in the nanometer regime at visible wavelengths.
