研究目的

研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates a single-shot nano-tomographic approach for analyzing non-paraxial light fields using SAMs as sensors. This method enables the direct qualitative visualization of focal field characteristics, including amplitude, phase, and 3D polarization, without the need for data post-processing. The approach holds significant potential for advancing the study and application of 4D functional nano-materials.
研究不足
Deviations between experimental and theoretical results may arise from non-exact perpendicular orientation of the probe relative to the beam’s optical axis, limited resolution of the imaging system, low fluorescence power compared to background noise, and self-excitation of fluorescent molecules. The spatial resolution could be improved by choosing a different fluorescent molecule or adjusting the imaging system.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study combines molecular self-assembly (nano-chemistry) and nano-optics to analyze non-paraxial light fields using SAMs as sensors. The method involves tailoring light fields in amplitude, phase, and polarization, then focusing them tightly to create non-paraxial fields. The SAMs' fluorescence response to these fields is analyzed to deduce the fields' properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
SAMs of fluorescent sulforhodamine B molecules are used as the functional material. These monolayers are produced on silica glass cover slips and serve as nano-detectors for the light fields.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A holography-based dynamic modulation system with a spatial light modulator (SLM) for tailoring light fields, high-NA microscope objectives for focusing, and a CCD camera for detecting fluorescence. The SAMs are prepared using sulforhodamine B silane.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Tailored paraxial light fields are generated using an SLM, then tightly focused to create non-paraxial fields. These fields interact with the SAMs, and the resulting fluorescence is imaged and analyzed to deduce the fields' properties.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The fluorescence response is analyzed to infer the amplitude, phase, and 3D polarization of the non-paraxial light fields. Numerical simulations support the experimental findings.
