摘要

Making use of exact and quasistatic expressions for the field in near-field imaging of a point dipole by a thin silver slab, we calculate the point-spread function and the associated image resolution. We show that the resolution, which depends on the silver slab thickness and the dipole orientation, generally is better than the conventional diffraction limit and can be as high as lambda/8. The results substantially agree with recent theoretical and experimental studies on 2D objects.
