In this paper the polarization states of linearly and radially polarized plane wave and
doughnut beams in the focal volume of high numerical aperture objectives are studied …

With respect to experimental condition, we have investigated the point spread function of a
high numerical aperture objective lens, taking into account the absorption effect of the …

We present experimental evidence for the resolution-enhancing effect of an annular pupil-
plane aperture when performing nonlinear imaging in the vectorial-focusing regime through …

In order to improve the spatial resolution of a confocal system, a radial birefringent pupil filter
(RBPF) is introduced into a differential confocal system. RBPF consists of two polarizers with …

Nowadays, far field optical microscopy is widely used in many fields, for fundamental
research and applications. The low cost, simple operation, high flexibility are its main …

We demonstrate a promising method to precisely introduce desired defects into large-area
periodic structures by using a double-step laser scanning technique. A multiexposure two …

Based on vectorial Debye diffraction theory, the focusing properties of stochastic
electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beams in the focal region of high numerical …

A severe drawback to the scalar Monte Carlo (MC) method is the difficulty of introducing
diffraction when simulating light propagation. This hinders, for instance, the accurate …

The concept of three-dimensional (3D) optical addressing based on low one-photon
absorption (LOPA) microscopy is theoretically and experimentally studied in detail. The …

In two-color excitation fluorescence (2CE) theta microscopy, the point spread function (PSF)
of the system is the product of the two PSFs of both excitation beams and due to the …
