Schematic of THz near-field microscopy based on an air-plasma dynamic aperture. Two femtosecond laser pulses were focused in mutually perpendicular directions to generate two air-plasmas (Plasma1 and ...

Modern microwave technology, including the generation, manipulation, and detection of microwaves, plays a vital role in various fields, such as high-frequency integrated circuits, quantum computing, ...

Chiral metasurfaces can strongly twist the polarization of light, but how this process unfolds in space and time has been unclear. Scientists in China have now used ultrafast electron microscopy and ...

Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...

Penetrating ever farther into the submicron world, microscope designers have broken through the diffraction barrier that once stood between researchers and the mysterious depths of the nano world.

Mad City Labs announces the release of MCL-NSOM, a versatile near field scanning optical microscope (NSOM). The MCL-NSOM leverages our expertise with high-resolution SPM instrumentation and our core ...

Sum-frequency generation (SFG) is a powerful vibrational spectroscopy that can selectively probe molecular structures at ...

time for quantum computers and similar devices has been demonstrated by a team of University of Michigan researchers. The methodology, which combines coherent nonlinear optical spectroscopy with ...

Near-field optics operates on the principle that when light interacts with objects smaller than its wavelength, it can produce an evanescent wave that decays exponentially with distance but provides ...

Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy technique capable of improving the observation of living cells. The study, ...
