Diffraction-based solid immersion lens

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A solid immersion lens based on diffraction (dSIL) is proposed as an alternative to the conventional design based on refraction. A design analogous to a Fresnel zone plate is derived in accordance with the Huygens–Fresnel principle. Fabrication of a binary dSIL is achieved by electron-beam lithography and reactive-ion etching on LaSF35, with index n=2.014. Measurement of the point-spread function is performed with near-field optical microscopy. The results are in accord with the expected resolution enhancement of a factor n with respect to the diffraction limit.
