Intensity and phase fields behind phase-shifting masks studied with high-resolution interference microscopy

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf, Ali Naqavi, Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam

We try to find out the details of how light fields behind the structures of photomasks develop in order to determine the best conditions and designs for proximity printing. The parameters that we use approach real situations like structure printing at prox ...

Unconventional Optical Responses of Wavelength-scale Microlenses: beyond Refraction Limit

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf

Miniaturized optical systems show often unconventional responses compare to larger systems of the same design. We investigate such new phenomena using microlenses, and demonstrate characteristics beyond the refraction limit of the micro-optical systems. ...

Nano-Thin 2D Axicon Generating Nondiffracting Surface Waves

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Elsie Barakat, Richa Dubey

We investigate nondiffracting surface waves. On top of the Bloch surface wave platform, a 60-nm-thick TiO2 isosceles triangle serves as a 2D axicon. Scanning near-field microscopy measurements verify nondiffracting surface beam properties. ...

Lightfields behind amplitude masks: Creating phase discontinuities

Hans Peter Herzig, Wilfried Noell, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf, Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam

Shaping of light fields behind amplitude and phase masks the basis the lithographic structure reproduction. The aerial image or better the intensity distribution defines the resolution of the structure to be printed. Contrast is the main parameter and to a ...

Structured amplitude and phase fields behind microstructures: The quest for high contrast modulation at proximity

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf, Johana Bernasconi, Krishnaparvathy Puthankovilakam

Microstructures can be used to realize repetitive and singular high contrast features at different distances behind a structure. For practical applications, the amplitude field needs to be considered. To realize defined amplitude features at long distances ...

Transition of optical regime in miniaturized optical systems: light interactions beyond the refraction limit

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf

We investigate the transition of optical regimes of miniaturized optical systems using two canonical examples, where the refraction of light limits the system performance. A ball-lens and a solid immersion lens (SIL) are considered, whose refractive respon ...

Interferometric study on Gouy phase anomaly of microlens array

Hans Peter Herzig, Wilfried Noell, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf

We investigate the Gouy phase anomaly of light in the focus of refractive plano-convex microlens arrays by using longitudinal-differential (LD) interferometry and a finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation. We put emphasis on determining the amount ...

Light confinement effect of non-spherical nanoscale solid immersion lenses

Hans Peter Herzig, Gaël David Osowiecki, David Nguyen, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf

We report on the light confinement effect observed in non-ideally shaped (i.e., non-spherical) nanoscale solid immersion lenses (SILs). To investigate this effect, nanostructures of various shapes are fabricated by electron-beam lithography. When completel ...

Phase anomalies in Talbot light carpets of selfimages

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf

An interesting feature of light fields is a phase anomaly, which occurs on the optical axis when light is converging as in a focal spot. Since in Talbot images the light is periodically confined in both transverse and axial directions, it remains an open q ...

Experimental and theoretical investigation on the misalignment tolerance of a micron-sized solid immersion lens tolerance of a micron-sized solid immersion lens

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf

We report an experimental and theoretical study on the alignment error tolerance of a 2 µm-size solid immersion lens (SIL) illuminated by different types of focused spots. Tightly confined focal spots are of great interest for improving the performance of ...

Multiple Phase Anomalies in Bessel Beam

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf

The non-diverging feature of the Bessel-kind beam leads to multiple phase anomalies along the optical axis in contrary to the focused Gaussian beam. Here, we analyze the phase distributions using in a longitudinal-differential phase mode of a high-resoluti ...

Phase anomalies in Bessel-Gauss beams

Hans Peter Herzig, Myun Sik Kim, Toralf Scharf

Bessel-Gauss beams are known as non-diffracting beams. They can be obtained by focusing an annularly shaped collimated laser beam. Here, we report for the first time on the direct measurement of the phase evolution of such beams by relying on longitudinal- ...
