摘要

Abstract

The diffraction-limited resolution of light focused by a lens was derived in 1873 by Ernst Abbe. Later in 1952

a method to reach sub-diffraction light spots was proposed by modulating the wavefront of the focused beam. In 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 microscopy. Up till now

only simple Gaussian-like sub-diffraction spots were used. Here we show that the amplitude and phase profile of these sub-diffraction spots can be arbitrarily controlled. In particular

we utilize Hermite–Gauss

Laguerre–Gauss and Airy functions to structure super-oscillating beams with sub-diffraction lobes. These structured beams are then used for high-resolution trapping and manipulation of nanometer-sized particles. The trapping potential provides unprecedented localization accuracy and stiffness

significantly exceeding those provided by standard diffraction-limited beams.
