Unreferenced date February 2007 Near field optics is that branch of optics that considers configurations that depend on the passage of light to, from, through, or near an element with subwavelength features, and the coupling of that light to a second element located a subwavelength distance from the first. The barrier of spatial resolution imposed by the very nature of light itself in conventional Optical microscope optical microscopy contributed significantly to the development of near field optical devices, most notably the near field scanning optical microscope , or NSOM. Size constraints The limit of optical resolution in a conventional microscope , the so called diffraction limit , is in the order of half the wavelength of the light used to Optical imaging image . Thus, when imaging at visible wavelengths the smallest resolvable objects are several hundred nanometer s in size. Using near field optical techniques, researchers currently resolve features in the order of tens of nanometers in size. While other imaging techniques e.g. atomic force microscopy and electron microscopy can resolve features of much smaller size, the many advantages of optical microscopy make near field optics a field of considerable interest. History The notion of developing a near field optical device was first conceived by Edward Hutchinson Synge in 1928 but was not realized experimentally until the 1950s when several researchers demonstrated the feasibility of sub wavelength resolution. Published images of sub wavelength resolution appeared when Ash and Nichols examined Diffraction grating gratings with line spacing less than one millimeter using microwave s of 3 cm wavelength. In 1982 Dieter Pohl at IBM in Zurich , Switzerland , first obtained sub wavelength resolution at visible wavelengths using near field optical techniques.

merge Optical window in biological tissue discuss Talk Nearinfrared window in biological tissue Duplicate article date May 2011 The nearinfrared NIR window also known as optical window or therapeutic window defines the range of wavelengths where light has its maximum depth of penetration in tissue. Within the NIR window, scattering is the most dominant light tissue interaction, and therefore the propagating light becomes diffused rapidly. Since scattering increases the distance travelled by photons within tissue, the probability of photon absorption also increases. Because scattering has weak dependence on wavelength, the NIR window is primarily limited by the light absorption of blood at short wavelengths and water at long wavelengths. The technique using this window is called nearinfrared spectroscopy NIRS .

Ground based infrared telescopes tend to be placed on high mountains and in very dry climates to improve visibility. In the 1960s, scientists used balloons to lift infrared telescopes to higher altitudes. With balloons, they were able to reach about 25 miles up. In 1967, infrared telescopes were placed ... borne infrared telescopes. A more recent air borne infrared telescope to reach the stratosphere was NASA s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy SOFIA in May 2010. Together, United States ... more details

For Gaussian beam optics Gaussian beam Gaussian optics is a technique in geometrical optics that describes the behaviour of light rays in optical systems by using the paraxial approximation , in which only rays which make small angles with the optical axis of the system are considered. ref A.Lipson, S.G.Lipson, H.Lipson, http books.google.it books?id aow3o0dhyjYC&pg PA51 v onepage&q&f false Optical Physics , IV edition, 2010, University Press, Cambridge, UK, p.51 ref In this approximation, trigonometric functions can be expressed as linear functions of the angles. Gaussian optics applies to systems in which all the optical surfaces are either flat or are portions of a sphere . In this case, simple explicit formulae can be given for parameters of an imaging system such as focal distance, magnification and brightness, in terms of the geometrical shapes and material properties of the constituent elements. Gaussian optics is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss , who showed that an optical system can be characterized by a series of Cardinal point optics cardinal points , which allow one to calculate its optical properties. ref W.J.Smith, http books.google.it books?id DrtM bAnf YC&pg PA22 v onepage&q&f false Modern optical engineering the design of optical systems , McGraw Hill 2007, p.22 ref References reflist Category Geometrical opticsoptics stub ... more details
