The diffraction limit, also known as Abbe diffraction limit in optics, poses a great challenge in many systems that involve wave dynamics, such as imaging, astronomy, and photolithography. For example ...

Physicists have reached a new threshold of light-matter coupling at the nanoscale. Physicists from the University of Southampton and ETH Zürich have reached a new threshold of light-matter coupling at ...

The principles behind super-resolution imaging and its ability to visualize objects smaller than those theoretically indicated by the Abbe diffraction limit continue to be developed further by ...

Physicists from the University of Southampton and ETH Zürich have reached a new threshold of light-matter coupling at the nanoscale. The international research, published this week in Nature Photonics ...

A team of researchers recently developed an alternative way to break the Abbe diffraction limit and realize subwavelength imaging in an all-optical manner. They propose localized evanescent-wave ...
