The ability to amplify optical signals is of pivotal importance across science and technology typically using rare-earth-doped fibres or gain media based on III-V semiconductors. A different physical process to amplify optical signals is to use the Kerr no ...

All fluorescence super-resolution microscopy techniques present trade-offs between, for example, resolution, acquisition speed, and live-cell compatibility. Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) improves the resolution through successive imaging of the ...

This feature issue commemorating 25 years of STED microscopy and 20 years of SIM is intended to highlight the incredible progress and growth in the field of superresolution microscopy since Stefan Hell and Jan Wichmann published the article Breaking the di ...

Most diffraction-unlimited super-resolution imaging critically depends on the switching of fluorophores between at least two states, often induced using intense laser light and specialized buffers or UV radiation. Recently, so-called self-blinking dyes tha ...

Resonant waveguide gratings (RWGs), also known as guided mode resonant (GMR) gratings or waveguide-mode resonant gratings, are dielectric structures where these resonant diffractive elements benefit from lateral leaky guided modes and can operate from UV t ...

Overcoming the classical diffraction limit in optical microscopy is known to be achievable by a variety of far-field and near-field microscopy techniques. More recently, so-called micro-object-based optical super-resolution microscopy techniques have emerg ...

Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) technique enables to overcome Abbe diffraction limit of far-field optics as well as to obtain simultaneously optical and topographical images. While the optical resolution of the method is limited by the apertu ...

We present a semi-blind, spatially-variant deconvolution technique aimed at optical microscopy that combines a local estimation step of the point spread function (PSF) and deconvolution using a spatially variant, regularized Richardson-Lucy algorithm. To f ...

Diagnostic alkali atom (e.g., lithium) beams are routinely used to diagnose magnetically confined plasmas, namely, to measure the plasma electron density profile in the edge and the scrape off layer region. A light splitting optics system was installed int ...
