Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

To achieve integrated diffraction control and arrayed output for compact optical systems.

Main Methods:

Structure design and fabrication using vibration-assisted fly-cutting.
Analysis of diffraction mechanisms via finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) calculations.
Experimental validation through diffraction tests and optical performance evaluation.

Main Results:

Fabrication of a three-level-grooved surface capable of manipulating visible light diffraction.
Demonstration of resonance enhancement of diffraction at low orders and angles due to nanogroove periodicity.
Confirmation of a large bandwidth for array output and control of diffracted light.
