About this title

Synopsis

It is always challenging to break the rules, especially in such well established discipline as the optics is. One superstition, saying that optical resolution is limited by optical wavelength and by optics quality, has fallen two decades ago. In early 90's Wickramasinghe et al. have realized [1,2] that incident optical field can be concentrated by sharp protrusions and that tip curvature (not a light wavelength) will determine then actual optical resolution. Originally applied for elastic scattering signal with demonstration of sub-nanometer lateral resolution, this fruitful idea was implemented later in JILA (Boulder, Colorado, USA) in emission studies of single quantum dots and molecules. In 2004, 10-20 times emission enhancement and 20-30 nm spatial optical resolution have been demonstrated on single fluorophores. With a detail description of the project provided in this brochure you can also achieve such unprecedent parameters in your optical lab.

About the Author

Vladimir Protasenko received M.S. degree in Physics from the Moscow Institute for Physics and Thechology in 1989. From 1999 to 2004 he and Dr. Labardi were doing intensive research on apertureless optical microscopy in JILA/University of Colorado at Boulder. In 2008 Vladimir got Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Notre Dame, USA.
