摘要： Methods and apparatus for producing sub-diffraction limited images utilizing an exponential scaling effect. An exemplary system provides an optical source that focuses an optical beam onto a target. The focused optical beam has sufficient optical intensity to induce an exponential signal response within the target. A detection device detects the exponential signal response. A scanning device scans the focused optical source and another device records the detection of the exponential signal response for purposes of producing a sub-diffraction limited image. The system further includes a display device that displays at least a portion of the recorded detection.

摘要： An optical beam (3) passes through an illuminator (18), a semiconductor device (70), and an imager (20) to form a test object image (17) on a camera (16). Intensity variations in the object image (17) correspond to carrier density and temperature gradients inside the semiconductor device (70).

摘要： A radiant energy point source (10) generates radiant energy, and a mechanism (12, 15, 16) focuses the radiant energy generated by the point source onto a target (18) and scans the target with the focused radiant energy. A collector (16, 14) collects the focused radiant energy that is scattered from the target and a splitter (22) splits the collected radiant energy into two paths. Each of the two paths of the collected radiant energy is focused onto separate focal spots by a focusing mechanism (24). A pair of spatial filters (26, 28) filter the collected radiant energy at the focal spots. The spatial filters are offset from each other along the path of the focused radiant energy. Detectors (30, 32) separately detect the focused radiant energy which passes through each of the spatial filters and produce signals proportional to the quantity of detected focused radiant energy present. Finally, the produced signals are combined into an image signal related to the distance traveled by the radiant energy from the focusing mechanism to the target and back to the collector.
