IRELAND; Postdoc – Optical Near-Field Imaging
Scanning near-field microscopy provides an optical resolution beyond the diffraction limit of conventional microscopy. Scanning near-field optical absorption imaging is based on the collection of scattered electromagnetic radiation via the near-field positioned aperture. Due to the elastic light scattering mechanism and the complex dielectric value of the sample recovery of precise absorption information is challenging. Combining atomic force microscopy and optical mythology is an alternative method to performing sub-wavelength absorption imaging. To date this approach has enabled a resolution of /150. Developing and applying such mythology enables detailed information of nanoscale optical processes to be performed.
