doi:10.1364/OL.39.003888
内容介绍:
D. Rodríguez等在文中展示了空间结构光调制照明的重构图像的光学分辨率仅受投影光学系统的NA影响,不受图像采集系统的光学元件影响。并给出了对比实验,证明在光学成像方面,单像素探测器的分辨率优于普通的CCD阵列。这一结论在考虑了实际情况下的光学像差,样品和探测器的光学缺陷给出,并且提供了验证性实验。
实验中采用的系统原理图如图1所示。光学系统分为两部分:照明系统和采集系统,分别位于物体OB的左右两侧。在照明系统中,SLM提供光强的二元调制。这些光通过光学透镜和显微物镜投影在物体上。在采集系统中,低数值孔径的显微物镜用于收集透过物体的光,PMT对光进行积分。最后通过采用优化算法,重构物体的图像。为了比较单像素系统和普通系统的光学分辨率,在BS2后放置了一个CCD。

实验结果如图2所示。实验结果表明,计算机重构的图像包含有普通光学系统限制的频率,即,单像素系统能够提供超出瑞利判据的分辨率。

为了说明系统的分辨率不依赖于收集系统,对光学像差也不敏感,接着,文章证明了系统能够在加了光学散射版后重构出物体。如图3所示,可以看到,普通光学系统收集到的图像已经模糊,而根据单像素探测器收集到的信号还能够重构出图像。

This Letter presents a theory that allows graded index lenses to be mapped onto arbitrary rotationally symmetriccurved surfaces. Examples of the Luneburg and Maxwell fish-eye lens are given, for numerous surfaces, alwaysresulting in isotropic permittivity requirements. The performance of these lenses is initially illustrated withfull-wave simulations utilizing a waveguide structure. A transformation of the refractive index profiles is thenperformed to design surface-wave lenses, where the dielectric layer is not only isotropic but also homogenous,demonstrating the applicability and ease of fabrication.

Abstract
An optical processor for synthetic-aperture imaging ladar (SAIL) utilizing one astigmatic lens is proposed. The processor comprises two structures of transmitting and reflecting. The imaging process is mathematically analyzed using the unified data-collection equation of side-looking and down-looking SAILs. Results show that the astigmatic lens can be replaced with a cylindrical lens on certain conditions. To verify this concept, laboratory experiment is conducted, the imaging result of data collected from one SAIL demonstrator is given.

Abstract:
We study light scattering by cylindrical multilayer structures containing Kerr-type nonlinear materials. We develop a new semi-analytical method for solving such nonlinear problems by reducing the original 2D system by a 1D nonlinear Helmholtz equation. We apply our method for the case of wave scattering by the core-shell metal-dielectric nanowire and show that the nonlinearity allows us to control scattering cross section, which in the resonant regime demonstrates optical bistability. We compare our method with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach and find that the new approach is accurate and is 105 times faster and more numerically robust than the FDTD.
