摘 要:The diffraction-limited resolution of light focused by a lens was derived in 1873 by Ernst *** in 1952,a method to reach sub-diffraction light spots was proposed by modulating the wavefront of the focused *** a related development,super-oscillating functions,that is,band-limited functions that locally oscillate faster than their highest Fourier component,were introduced and experimentally applied for super-resolution *** till now,only simple Gaussian-like sub-diffraction spots were *** we show that the amplitude and phase profile of these sub-diffraction spots can be arbitrarily *** particular,we utilize Hermite–Gauss,Laguerre–Gauss and Airy functions to structure super-oscillating beams with subdiffraction *** structured beams are then used for high-resolution trapping and manipulation of nanometer-sized *** trapping potential provides unprecedented localization accuracy and stiffness,significantly exceeding those provided by standard diffraction-limited beams.
