The emergence of imaging schemes capable of overcoming Abbe's diffraction barrier is revolutionizing optical microscopy. In 1873, the German physicist Ernst Abbe realized that the resolution of ...

It is important to note that diffraction is inherently self-referencing ... This attribute provides a considerable advantage over other optical biosensor systems in which any surface binding ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

Researchers have developed a new coronagraph—an optical device that blocks out light from a bright source—that could make it ...

have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field microscopy, achieving ...

By using deep learning to optimize the structures of a series of passive, isotropic diffractive layers, the team created a compact and broadband optical system that efficiently focuses light in ...

Meta-grating with a Fourfold Increase in Efficiency At Hannover Messe, Meretska and her team will present an optical diffraction meta-grating that was made using special KIT manufacturing equipment.

Specially made diffraction gratings use optical laser light to illustrate how wave-based material characterization techniques work, such as X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, and neutron ...

This course will explain x-ray diffraction and related phenomena in terms of the kinematical, optical and dynamical theories of x-ray scattering. X-ray diffraction, reflectivity, standing waves and ...

When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...
