Microsphere Assisted Super-resolution Optical Imaging of Plasmonic Interaction between Gold Nanoparticles

Abstract Conventional far-field microscopy cannot directly resolve the sub-diffraction spatial distribution of localized surface plasmons in metal nanostructures. Using BaTiO3 microspheres as far-field superlenses by collecting the near-field signal, we can map the origin of enhanced two-photon phot...
