    摘要: Near-field electromagnetic devices having an opaque metallic screen with a fractal iterate aperture are provided. More specifically, the aperture is obtained by application of a self-similar replacement rule to an initial shape two or more times. Alternatively, the aperture can be obtained by application of a self-similar replacement rule one or more times to an initial C-shape. Such apertures tend to have multiple transmission resonances due to their multiple length scales. Fractal iterate apertures can provide enhanced transmission and improved spatial resolution simultaneously. Enormous improvement in transmission efficiency is possible. In one example, a checkerboard fractal iterate aperture provides 1011 more intensity gain than a square aperture having the same spatial resolution. Efficient transmission for fractal iterate apertures having spatial resolution of λ/20 is also shown. The effect of screen thickness and composition can be included in detailed designs, but do not alter the basic advantages of improved transmission and spatial resolution provided by the invention.

    摘要: Transmission efficiency and/or spatial resolution provided by resonant apertures can be enhanced by disposing a tip on part of the screen that extends laterally into the aperture. For example, a tip disposed on the ridge of a C-shaped aperture can dramatically improve performance. A spatial resolution of λ/50 has been experimentally demonstrated with this approach. The combination of high spatial resolution and high transmission efficiency provided by this approach enables many applications, such as near field optical probes for near field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Another application is high resolution electron sources, where an photoelectron emitter can be disposed at or near a tip+aperture structure such that the high resolution optical near-field provides a correspondingly high resolution electron source.

    摘要: A mask layer for a high-density near-field optical storage system includes nonlinear optical material and nanoparticles embedded in the nonlinear optical material. The mask layer in combination with a data layer is useful for forming an optical disk. One technique for storing data in the optical disk includes using a gate beam to modify an index of refraction in a modified portion of the nonlinear optical material using a signal beam to provide nanoparticle resonance excitation of selected nanoparticles within the modified portion of the nonlinear optical material.

    摘要: Near-field sub-wavelength C-apertures provide enhanced spatial resolution and power throughput by increasing the normalized resonant wavelength of the aperture. These improved apertures are characterized by the use of improved geometric proportions for C-apertures, filling the aperture with high-index material, designing aperture thickness to produce longitudinal transmission resonance, and/or tapering the aperture in the longitudinal direction to achieve impedance matching. Apertures according to the present invention may be used for many technological applications in various portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Exemplary applications to high density optical data storage and optical particle trapping and manipulation are described.
