A description is given of a modeling technique that is used to explore three-dimensional
image distributions formed by high numerical aperture (NA> 0.6) lenses in homogeneous …

The dependence of magneto-optical effects on the magnetization distribution in a magnetic
film system can be described by sensitivity functions or information depth profiles [1]. These …

A general theory for treating magneto‐optic scattering (reflection and transmission) from
multilayer structures comprised of magneto‐optic and dielectric materials is presented. The …

Magneto-optics is described in a unique framework. Reflection and transmission of a
general multilayer system is expressed by means of medium boundary and propagation …

The quality of imaging subwavelength features with the aid of multilayers containing
negative permittivity materials is examined. Examples for nearly perfect imaging are given …

A complete analysis of multilayer structures containing an arbitrary number of dielectric,
metal, magnetic, and birefringent/dichroic layers is presented. An algorithm, based on …

The recursion equation for electric field strength in a multilayer thin film system yields only
the tangential component of the field. This paper discusses the relationship between the …

We have derived compact and interpretable analytical expressions to describe the magneto-
optics in layered structures for all orientations of magnetization and incident angle. In our …

We analyze the degree of polarization of random, statistically stationary electromagnetic
fields in the focal region of a high-numerical-aperture imaging system. The Richards–Wolf …

Optical imaging through a thin planar silver layer has been achieved by utilizing near-field
lithography techniques. A 120 nm thick silver lens that was placed 60 nm below a patterned …
