Multiple super-resolution imaging from Mikaelian lens to generalized Maxwell's fish-eye lens

Abstract

Super-resolution imaging is vital for optical applications, such as high capacity information transmission, real-time bio-molecular imaging and nanolithography. Technology and method of super-resolution imaging have attracted much attention. In recent years, different kinds of novel lens, from the superlens to the super-oscillatory lens, has been designed and fabricated to break out the diffraction limit. However, the effect of the super-resolution imaging in these lenses is not satisfactory due to intrinsic loss, aberration, bigger sidebands and single super-resolution imaging. In this research, we introduce the solid immersion mechanism to Mikaelian lens (ML) for multiple super-resolution imaging.
