Description
It is shown that the resolution of virtual images of dye-doped dielectric nanospheres obtained through dielectric microspheres can be increased beyond the classical diffraction limit by decreasing the period of nanoplasmonic array used for localiz...

Description
Optical microscopy is one of the oldest and most important imaging techniques; however, its far-field resolution is diffraction-limited. In this dissertation, we proposed and developed a novel method of optical microscopy with super-resolution by ...

Description
With the advent of microsphere assisted microscopy in 2011, this technique emerged as a simple and easy way to obtain optical super-resolution. Although the possible mechanisms of imaging by microspheres are debated in the literature, most of the ...

Description
In this thesis we investigated the spatial and spectral mode profiles, and the optical transport properties of single and multiple coupled cavities. We performed numerical modeling of whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in such cavities in order to ex...
