Abstract

A super-resolved axial imaging technique was investigated based on extraordinary transmission (EOT) of light using metallic gradient nanoaperture arrays. Light through subwavelength nanoapertures at thick metal film can be transmitted and amplified by several orders of magnitude due to plasmonic coupling. Here, the feasibility of EOT-based axial imaging with super resolution is explored. Since light penetration of EOT is much deeper than that of evanescent waves, the axial range to obtain the distance information of fluorescence signals can be extended by EOT. The axial distribution of ganglioside in mouse macrophage cells was measured with sub-diffraction-limited resolution after reconstruction using differential fluorescence excitation on gradient aperture arrays.
