- [Ryo Okamoto] Realization and applications of a quantum scanning near field optical microscopy
Graduate School of Engineering and Faculty of Engineering, Kyoto Univeristy
Associate Professor
Scanning near field optical microscopy (SNOM) enables us to beat diffraction limit while keeping the advantages of using light. In this study, a new scheme of “quantum-SNOM” will be developed by combining quantum entangled light and quantum measurement into SNOM. This quantum-SNOM will improve the signal-light detection sensitivity over the classical limit, and also open up new applications which will bring an innovation for nano-imaging using light.
