The principle and applications of Fourier back plane imaging

Abstract

Fourier back plane (FBP) imaging technique has been widely used in the frontier research of nanophotonics. In this paper, based on the diffraction theory and wave front transformation principle, the FBP imaging basic principle, the setup realization and the applications in frontier research are introduced. The paper beginnings with the primary knowledge of Fourier optics, combining with the modern microscope structure to help to understand the Fourier transformation principle in the advances of nanophotonics. It can be a reference for experimental teaching and researching.
