研究目的
To develop a method to obtain quantitative amplitude and phase images in the interferometric plasmonic microscopy for nanoscopic bio- and chemical sample analysis.
研究成果
The interferometric plasmonic microscopy has been demonstrated as far-field common-path holography for both amplitude and phase imaging. The proposed methodology enables direct visualization of complex surface plasmon fields arising from interactions with nanoparticles and nanowires, without the need for nanoscopic scanning probes. The technology is promising for nanoplasmonic study and various sensing purposes.
研究不足
The spatial resolution is limited by the micrometers-long propagating length of SPs on metal film. Multi-directional illumination could improve the spatial resolution, but it complicates the optical systems and lowers the imaging rate. The imaging is highly dependent on the focal conditions and incident angles, resulting in inconsistent report in image contrast and patterns.
