摘要：

We develop an analytical technique for retrieving the size and shape of subwavelength objects using far-field measurements. The approach relies on subwavelength diffraction gratings scattering evanescent information into the far field along with a numerical algorithm that is capable of deconvoluting this information based on the far-field intensity measurements. Several examples are presented, demonstrating resolution on the order of lambda(0)/20. The developed method can be used at any frequency range, and may become a practical alternative to scanning near-field microscopy. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3487779]
