Engineered Glass Slide Enables Microscopic Thermal Mapping

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Using a coating of an optical exceptional point structure, researchers demonstrated a multifunctional microscope slide that supports real-time monitoring and mapping of temperature distribution and heat transport, in addition to conventional microscopic imaging. The integration of optical sensing technologies with a conventional glass slide could lead to improved experimental control at the microscale. The coating is made of a layer of acrylic glass. The glass layer is sandwiched between two layers of gold. Each gold layer is just 20 nm thick. The illustration depicts the...Read full article

    nanophotonics
    Nanophotonics is a branch of science and technology that explores the behavior of light on the nanometer scale, typically at dimensions smaller than the wavelength of light. It involves the study and manipulation of light using nanoscale structures and materials, often at dimensions comparable to or smaller than the wavelength of the light being manipulated. Aspects and applications of nanophotonics include: Nanoscale optical components: Nanophotonics involves the design and fabrication of...
    plasmonics
    Plasmonics is a field of science and technology that focuses on the interaction between electromagnetic radiation and free electrons in a metal or semiconductor at the nanoscale. Specifically, plasmonics deals with the collective oscillations of these free electrons, known as surface plasmons, which can confine and manipulate light on the nanometer scale. Surface plasmons are formed when incident photons couple with the conduction electrons at the interface between a metal or semiconductor...
