Two-dimensional Fibonacci grating for far-field super-resolution imaging

Original publication · Original publication · Original publication

Recorded summary

A two-dimensional Fibonacci grating is designed to convert evanescent information into propagating light. Analytical calculations and numerical simulations predict far-field reconstruction beyond a wavelength divided by seven in the tested configuration.

Recorded limitations

The reported imaging resolution is a simulated result. Fabrication tolerance, experimental noise and performance on biological specimens are not established by these calculations.
