The lens contains a total of ten optical skin depths of Ag, yet maintains a normal incidence transmittance of 50% for propagating waves over the super-resolving wavelength range of 500–650 nm. The individual Ag layers are 22 nm thick and can be readily fabricated in conventional deposition systems. The importance of antireflection coatings for the transmission of evanescent and propagating waves is illustrated by comparison to periodic and symmetric structures without the coatings.4 pagesen-USThis item is likely protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
