SCATTERING OF LIGHT BY PLASMONIC AND DIELECTRIC NANOPARTICLES & ITS APPLICATION IN SUBWAVELENGTH IMAGING
In spite of the impressive progress in sibwavelength imaging field, surface plasmon polariton (SPP) energy loss, sophistications in nanofabrication, specific laser sources, and parameter configuration of SPP excitation are factors which hamper far-field and near-field subwavelength imaging in the whole visible spectrum. In various fields of science, technology and medicine there is a continual need to obtain increasingly higher resolution images. This research is motivated by the opportunity to develop an artificial media with effective optical property to manipulate light for the application in subwavelength imaging.
