摘要

Abstract

We demonstrate an all-optical strategy for realizing spherical three-dimensional (3D) super-resolution (~

/22) spot arrays of pure longitudinal magnetization by exploiting a 4

optical microscopic setup with two high numerical aperture (NA) objective lenses

which focus and interfere two modulated vectorial beams. Multiple phase filters (MPFs) are designed via an analytical approach derived from the vectorial Debye diffraction theory to modulate the two circularly polarized beams. The system is tailored to constructively interfere the longitudinal magnetization components

while simultaneously destructively interfering the azimuthal ones. As a result

the magnetization field is not only purely longitudinal but also super-resolved in all three dimensions. Furthermore

the MPFs can be designed analytically to control the number and locations of the super-resolved magnetization spots to produce both uniform and nonuniform arrays in a 3D volume. Thus

an all-optical control of all the properties of light-induced magnetization spot arrays has been

demonstrated for the first time. These results open up broad applications in magnetic-optical devices such as confocal and multifocal magnetic resonance microscopy

3D ultrahigh-density magneto-optic memory

and light-induced magneto-lithography.
