摘要

We present a mini review of the recent progress in the fabrication of nanolenses and their use for high-resolution optical imaging beyond the diffraction limit. Nanolenses break the diffraction limit by capturing near-field evanescent waves and refocusing them in the far-field image plane. The focus of this article is on our recent work on fabrication of nanolens and ordered lens arrays by a combination of the top-down and self-organization in unstable thin polymer films. Highly confined, thin (<50 nm) liquid polymer films spontaneously transform into micro-scale patterns of droplets by a spinodal instability leading to dewetting. The lateral length scales of these self-organized structures in air are limited by the weak van der Waals destabilizing force and a strong surface tension-induced stabilization. Limitations on slow dewetting kinetics and relatively large (>1 mu m) length scales can be overcome by dewetting induced under an optimal mix of a non-solvent (water) and a good solvent, which reduces the interfacial tension without a concurrent solubilization of the polymer. This room temperature technique reduces both the time and the length scales of self-organized structures by over one order of magnitude. Further, directed dewetting combined with physico-chemically patterned substrates and films by e-beam, photolithography, laser ablation and nanoimprint lithography techniques can be used for fabrication of ordered nanostructures such as arrays of nanolenses.
