Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Using a mathematical formula to turn a complicated light wave into a mix of simpler waves, the scientists were able to solve the image quality issues prevalent in optical lenses.<\/p>\n

A research team led by professor Shuang Zhang from the University of Hong Kong, along with those from the Imperial College London and the University of California, Berkeley, have discovered a way to overcome the \u201cdiffraction limit\u201d (the maximum limit of resolution) in optical lenses.<\/p>\n

In 2000, scientist John Pendry from the Imperial College London, conceptualized the superlens, which can be crafted from negative index media or a noble metal, such as gold, silver or platinum. These superlenses can then create images on a subwavelength scale.<\/p>\n

Following the idea, Zhang and his team conducted an experimental demonstration using a silver thin film and a silver\/dielectric multilayer stack to produce their superimaging.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ultimate goal of optical imaging technology is resolution. Superlenses broke this limit and astonished physicists. However, the mixed surface made with metal and electrolyte can cause severe optical loss and the problem has existed for 20 years,\u201d said Zheng Guoxing, a Wuhan University professor who was not involved in the research.<\/p>\n

Then, to overcome the issue that all superlenses face (optical loss, an issue that the development of nanophotonics has been facing for three decades), scientists used a combination of multiple frequencies to increase the resolution and overcome the optical loss.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a beautiful and universal method, usable across multiple optical frequencies, and extendable to other wave systems like sound waves, elastic waves and quantum waves to solve the loss problem,\u201d said professor Zhang Xiang, the president of University of Hong Kong, who helped work on the study.<\/p>\n

Zhang added that the method is universally applicable, and can be \u201cleveraged to tackle loss in other wave systems\u201d including sound waves, elastic waves, quantum waves, and of course, raising imaging quality to new standards.<\/p>\n
