Near-field light-bending photonic switch: physics of switching based on three-dimensional Poynting vector analysis
Liyang Yue, Zengbo Wang, Bing Yan +4
Photonic hook is a high-intensity bent light focus with a proportional curvature to the wavelength of the incident light. Based on this unique light-bending phenomenon, a novel nea…
Roadmap for label-free imaging with microsphere superlens and metamaterial solid immersion lens
Zengbo Wang, Boris Luk'yanchuk, Limin Wu
In 2011, super-resolution imaging by microsphere superlens was emerged as a simple yet effective method to overcome the diffraction limit that limits the resolution of conventional…
Super-resolution imaging with patchy microspheres
Qingqing Shang, Fen Tang, Lingya Yu +6
The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy, which restricts the smallest resolvable feature size of a microscopic system. Microsphere-based microscopy has…
Confining photonic nanojet in a microwell on microsphere lens for highly efficient light focusing, signal amplification and quantitative detection
Pengcheng Zhang, Bing Yan, Guoqiang Gu +4
Dielectric microspheres or microbeads can squeeze light into the subwavelength scale via photonic nanojet (PNJ) focusing. This enables strong light-matter interactions within its f…
Fiber-based optical trapping of yeast cells as near-field magnifying lenses for parallel subwavelength imaging
Chunlei Jiang, Hangyu Yue, Bing Yan +3
Subwavelength imaging by microsphere lenses is a promising label-free super-resolution imaging technique. There is a growing interest to use live cells to replace the widely used n…
