Quantitative model of the image of a radiating dipole through a microscope
Abstract:
In this paper, we introduce a formalism to determine the relationship between the full vectorial electric field existing at the object plane of a microscope and that existing at the image plane. The model is then used to quantitatively simulate, in both phase and intensity, the image of a radiating electric dipole placed either in a homogeneous medium or in the vicinity of a substrate. These simulations are compared with experimental measurements on single gold nanoparticles carried out by quadriwave lateral shearing interferometry.

Theoretically, studying electric dipoles leads to understanding why the resultant electric forces around us are weak. Since electric forces are strong, remnant net charges are rare. Hence, the interaction between dipoles helps us understand electrical interactions in...
