We study the physical mechanism of near-field interference of slit doublet and explore the distinctive phenomena in near-field interference of slit doublet. The average electric field and average energy-flow density are chosen to describe the near-field distribution rules of the electromagnetic field. The numerical calculations for near-field interference of slit doublet under different illumination conditions are performed according to the finite-difference time-domain method, and the distinctive characteristics of the near-field interference of slit doublet are provided. They include the polarization dependence, the distortion of fringes, and the bifurcation of the fringes. These characteristics are completely different from those of the far-field interference. With the aid of the interference of two slits and of slit and groove, the physical mechanism of polarization dependence of near-field interference is investigated. The fringe distortion of the electric field and the fringe bifurcation of the energy-flow density reflect the amplitude and phase variations of the electromagnetic field. The influences of the slit parameters and the base material on the near-field interference of slit doublet are also discussed. These results may provide us with new insights into the underlying physics of interaction between complex nanostructures and electromagnetic waves.

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNPs) are promising nanomedicine vehicles due to their biocompatibility and ability to carry large cargoes. It is critical in nanomedicine development to be able to map their uptake in cells, including distinguishing surface associated MSNPs from those that are embedded or internalized into cells. Conventional nanoscale imaging techniques, such as electron and fluorescence microscopies, however, generally require the use of stains and labels to image both the biological material and the nanomedicines, which can interfere with the biological processes at play.

Semiconducting halide perovskite nanoparticles support Mie-type resonances that confine light on the nanoscale in localized modes with well-defined spatial field profiles yet unknown near-field dynamics. We introduce an interferometric scattering-type near-field microscopy technique to probe the local electric field dynamics at the surface of a single MAPbI nanoparticle. The amplitude and phase of the coherent light scattering from such modes are probed in a broad spectral range and with high spatial resolution.

The significance of antireflection has persisted over time due to its numerous optical applications. To achieve broadband antireflection, multiple element-based designs using graded-index films or multiresonant nanostructures have been conventionally employed. In this work, we propose an additional degree of freedom in developing antireflection by manipulating the orientation angles of nanostructures to achieve the symmetry-dependent Kerker condition.

Recently, we have shown that a seemingly weak octupole resonance in a pair of metal nanospheres can provide a higher near-field enhancement than the dipole resonance. Being motivated by this discovery, we now design a plasmonic nanodisc trimer that supports hybridized higher-order excitations and simultaneously suppresses the dipole excitation.
