使用金属线阵列在亚波长尺度上引导、聚焦和感测

Guiding, focusing, and sensing on the sub-wavelength scale using metallic wire arrays

G. Shvets, S. Trendafilov, J. B. Pendry, A. Sarychev

摘要:

我们表明,二维阵列的细金属线可以引导横向电磁波(TEM),并将其集中到空间尺寸小得多的真空波长。锥形线束保留了这种引导特性,可用作多通道TEM内窥镜:它们捕获由所研究样品的深亚波长特征产生的详细电磁场分布,并将其放大以进行观察。所得的成像方法是优于传统的扫描显微镜,因为并行性质的图像采集由多个金属丝。可能的应用包括具有纳米级分辨率的太赫兹和中红外内窥镜。

英文摘要:

We show that two-dimensional arrays of thin metallic wires can guide transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves and focus them to the spatial dimensions much smaller that the vacuum wavelength. This guiding property is retained for the tapered wire bundles which can be used as multi-channel TEM endoscopes: they capture a detailed electromagnetic field profile created by deeply sub-wavelength features of the studied sample and magnify it for observation. The resulting imaging method is superior to the conventional scanning microscopy because of the parallel nature of the image acquisition by multiple metal wires. Possible applications include terahertz and mid-infrared endoscopy with nanoscale resolution.
