Nanometer scale microscopy via graphene plasmons

摘要

Novel and advantageous systems and methods for performing nanometer-scale microscopy using graphene plasmons (GPs) are provided. Sub-diffraction microscopy can be achieved, taking advantage of the extremely small plasmon wavelength and low dissipation of GPs. Nanometer-scale resolution can be obtained under very weak light intensity, which is especially important in the imaging of biological systems.
