AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers introduced a new imaging technique that fuses leakage radiation microscopy with high-resolution interference microscopy.
- The method utilizes oil immersion optics to extract both amplitude and phase from optical fields that don't normally propagate in air.
- This technique successfully mapped the surface mode on a dielectric multilayer, with the propagation constant closely aligning with results from a separate imaging method.
Article Abstract
We present a proof of principle for a new imaging technique combining leakage radiation microscopy with high-resolution interference microscopy. By using oil immersion optics it is demonstrated that amplitude and phase can be retrieved from optical fields, which are evanescent in air. This technique is illustratively applied for mapping a surface mode propagating onto a planar dielectric multilayer on a thin glass substrate. The surface mode propagation constant estimated after Fourier transformation of the measured complex field is well matched with an independent measurement based on back focal plane imaging.
