Abstract:
A dichromatic lens includes a plurality of zones being arranged on a lens structure, each of the zones having a specified radius and varying height. The lens structure focuses propagating light applicable to any intensity distribution for a plurality of wavelengths.
Abstract:
An optical material system for nanopatterning is provided that includes one or more material systems having spectrally selective reversible and irreversible transitions by saturating one of the spectrally selective reversible transitions with an optical node retaining a single molecule in a configuration and exposing the single molecule to its spectrally irreversible transitions to form a pattern.
Abstract:
A lithography system is disclosed that provides an array of areas of imaging electromagnetic energy that are directed toward a recording medium. The reversible contrast-enhancement material is disposed between the recording medium and the array of areas of imaging electromagnetic energy.
Abstract:
An imaging system is provided. The imaging system includes a point spread function (PSF) module producing a diffraction-limited image of a sample. A convolution module performs convolution of the diffraction-limited image with a first image of a focal spot having a first wavelength to produce a first simulated image. The convolution also performs convolution of the diffraction-limited image with a second image of a focal ring having a second wavelength to produce a second simulated image. A difference module subtracts said first simulated image and said second simulated image to produce said high resolution composite image.

Abstract:
A maskless lithography system is disclosed that includes an array of focusing elements, each of which focuses an energy beam from an array of sources into an array of focal spots in order to create a permanent pattern on an adjacent substrate.

Abstract:
An imaging system is provided. The imaging system includes a sample to be scanned by the imaging system. An absorbance modulation layer (AML) is positioned in close proximity to the sample and is physically separate from the sample. One or more sub-wavelength apertures are generated within the AML, whose size is determined by the material properties of the AML and the intensities of the illuminating wavelengths. A light source transmits an optical signal through the one or more sub-wavelength apertures generating optical near-fields that are collected for imaging.
