Subwavelength Optical Microscopy in Far-Field

ORAL

Abstract

We present a complete procedure for subwavelenth optical microscopy. The identical atoms are distributed on a plane disk and shined with a standing wave. We rotate the disk to different angles and record the resonant fluorescence spectra in far-field, from which we can obtain their distance and location information. This procedure also works for atomic separation above one wavelength and so provides a seamless microscopy.
