Disclosed is a near-field exposure method including a process of bringing a light blocking film with a plurality of small openings each having an opening width not greater than a wavelength of exposure light, into close contact with a photoresist layer provided on a surface of a substrate, and a process of projecting exposure light from an exposure light source to the light blocking film to transfer an opening pattern of the light blocking film to the photoresist layer, wherein, on the basis of a correlation between (a) a distance from a node of a standing wave to be produced in the photoresist layer to the light blocking film and (b) a light intensity distribution of near-field light to be produced in the photoresist layer adjacent the light blocking film, the distance from the standing wave node to the light blocking film is determined so as to provide a desired light intensity distribution.

A device for detecting a target substance in a fluid is provided. This device comprises a periodic structure having a vacant portion for passing the fluid containing the target substance and a solid portion arranged regularly and capable of transmitting an electromagnetic wave, an electro-magnetic wave-projecting means for projecting the electromagnetic wave to the periodic structure, and a detecting means for measuring the magnetic wave emitted from the periodic structure to detect a change in periodic distribution of a refractive index. This sensor is highly sensitive in a small size.
摘要:
A chemical sensor for detecting a reaction of a sensor material with a specimen on the basis of an intensity of a surface plasmon polariton wave propagated along a surface of a sensor medium including the sensor material is principally constituted by the sensor medium. The sensor medium includes a periodic structure and the sensor material disposed on the periodic structure. The periodic structure has a pitch substantially equal to an integral multiple of a wavelength of the surface plasma polariton wave generated by irradiating an interface between the periodic structure and the sensor material with light.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for detecting a relative positional deviation between first and second objects. In one preferred form of the invention, the detecting method includes the steps of (i) providing the first and second objects with diffraction gratings, respectively, each having a grating pitch larger than a wavelength of a light source used, (ii) placing the first and second objects so that a dielectric material layer having a thickness smaller than the wavelength of the light source used is interposed between the first and second objects, and so that the diffraction gratings of the first and second objects are opposed to each other, (iii) projecting light from the light source onto the diffraction gratings of the first and second objects, and (iv) detecting the relative positional deviation between the first and second objects on the basis of diffraction light projected from the diffraction gratings to a space.

A probe for detecting light or irradiating light comprises a cantilever supported at an end thereof by a substrate, a hollow tip formed at a free end of the cantilever, a microaperture formed at the end of the tip, and a hollow waveguide formed inside the cantilever. A method for producing a probe for light detection or light irradiation which comprises the steps of working a substrate to form a groove therein, forming a flat plate-shaped cover portion on the groove to form a hollow waveguide having an opening in a part thereof, forming a hollow tip having a microaperture on the opening, and removing a part of the substrate by etching, to form a cantilever.
