New Modalities and Opportunities with Optical Spectroscopy and Microscopy Jung Y. Huang 黃中垚 Department of Photonics, Chiao Tung University Hsinchu, Taiwan http://www.jyhuang.idv.tw July 6, 2007 Optical spectroscopy discloses the electronic structure associated to a material, while microscopy reveals its real-space configuration. This talk presents an overview on modern optical spectroscopy and microscopy to elicit the ideas useful for the development of photonic science. Sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy and multi-dimensional FTIR are selected as the illustrating examples to reveal the characteristics and unique opportunity to be bringing out. For optical microscopy, emphasis is focused on the possibility and principles that allow optical microscopy to be employed to probe into the nano world with light. Current scientific research throughout the natural sciences aims at the exploration of the collectivity of structures with dimensions between 1 and 100nm (建構奈米組件). There is a strong demand for technologies offering access to these dimensions, for structuring (製造), manipulating (操控), or measuring (量測) at high resolution. SPATIAL RESOLUTION VS. CHEMICAL INFORMATION Rough estimates of the typical timescales associated to the energies involved in molecular systems Real-Space Configuration, Material Property (Electronic Structure ), and Structural Dynamics Vibrational Spectroscopy Unique finger-printing capability of vibrational spectroscopy : highly localized well characterized by theory Material properties are strongly affected by the structure and type of species on surface or at interface Smart Surface Sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy can be employed to reveal the interfacial molecular structure. Sum-frequency vibrational spectroscopy (SFVS) Resonance can be employed to yield sensitivity to molecular species.

Increased transverse resolution Rayleigh criterion Δr = λ / (2NA) NA = numerical aperture = n sin θ 2. Increased longitudinal resolution Rayleigh criterion Δz = 2 λ / (NA)2 (longitudinal resolution typically lower than transverse) 3. Ability to image through scattering medium Scattering leads to loss of contrast Scattering gets worse at shorter wavelengths Current Methods for Increasing Spatial Resolution Microscope types: Widefield and Confocal Current Status The best resolution that can be obtained by diffractionlimited (200 nm) optical techniques is coarser than the molecular level by two orders of magnitude (2 nm). Twofold improvements in resolution (approximately 100 nm) can be obtained in either confocal (4Pi) or widefield (I5M) technologies. Super resolution beyond this resolution enhancement has been demonstrated using either saturation absorption coupled with structured illumination or stimulated emission depletion (STED). Nano-Optics is the study of optical phenomena and techniques beyond the diffraction limit NLO and Superresolution: Saturated Structured-Illumination Microscopy (SSIM) • A structured light interacts with fine patterns in the sample and creates a moiré effect. The fine patterns that were previously below the Abbe-Rayleigh limit can now be visualized as a moiré version. Illuminated Object Object Structured Light See: Mats G. L. Gustafsson, PNAS 102, 13081–13086 (2005) Things Are Even Better by using Saturated Absorption Response of a (SSIM) saturable absorber to a sine-wave intensity modulation Here is what is happening in k-space Typical Laboratory Result of SSIM A field of 50-nm fluorescent beads: (a) imaged by conventional microscopy, (b) linear structured illumination, and (c) saturated structured illumination using illumination pulses with 5.3 mJ/cm2 energy density. Mats G. L. Gustafsson, PNAS 102, 13081–13086 (2005) NLO and Superresolution: Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) Microscopy Axial and transverse resolution better than 50 nm. Hell, Dyba, and Jakobs, Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 14:599, 2004. The Abbe-Rayleigh Criteria Becomes: STED Principle: an initial excitation pulse is focused on a spot. The spot is narrowed by a second, donut-shaped pulse that prompts all excited fluorophores to STED. This leaves only the hole of the donut in an excited state, and only this narrow hole is detected as an emitted fluorescence. The light doing the turning off is diffraction limited, and so it cannot provide any greater resolution alone. The trick is the saturated depletion, which helps to squeeze the spot down to a very small scale—in principle infinitely. Typical Laboratory Result of STED Imaging neurofilaments in human neuroblastoma.

Photoactivated Localization Microscopy (PALM) See: Eric Betzig, et al., SCIENCE 313, 1642 (2006) The principle of PALM: A sparse subset of fluorescent molecules attached to proteins of interest are activated with a brief laser pulse at =0.405 m and then imaged at =0.561 m. This process is repeated many times until the population of inactivated, unbleached molecules is depleted. The location of each molecule is determined by fitting the expected PSF to the actual molecular image. Repeating with all molecules across all frames and summing the results yields a superresolution image. Typical Result of PALM • PALM image of dEosFP-tagged cytochrome-c oxidase localized within the matrix of mitochondria in a COS-7 cell is compared to its corresponding TEM image.

By interfering this signal with Iref 110-4 W , however, the signal at the detector is boosted to Is 110-8 W , which is well within the detection limits of photo detectors.

New imaging modalities in optical microscopy have been developed to allow researchers probing into nano scale at the molecular level . There are essentially no fundamental limit on how far we can go beyond the Abbe’s diffraction limit.
