Impact of surface roughness on the effective dielectric constants and subwavelength image resolution of metal–insulator stack lenses

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The effective parallel and perpendicular dielectric constants for a multilayer metal–insulator stack are obtained from numerical simulations and compared with analytical homogenization results as a function of wavelength and number of periods. The influence of inevitable film surface roughness on the homogenized dielectric constants, determined from numerical scattered field calculations, is evaluated as a function of roughness. The impact of this roughness on resolution in a subwavelength imaging application gives smoothness guidelines for material deposition.
