Effect of polarization, phase and amplitude on depletion focus spot in STED
As Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) super-resolution microscopy has a lower resolution
this paper explores the effects of multiphysical variables including light polarization
phases and amplitudes on the focal spots
in order to form a ring-shape depletion focus spot with sharper Full Width at Half Maximum(FWHM) and to increase the resolution of the microscopy.According to Richards-Wolf vector theory
the models of depletion focus spots were established under the actions of polarization
phase and amplitude
the focus spot distribution was calculated in different polarization
phase and amplitude conditions and the distribution of effective fluorescent excitation was obtained by optimizing the parameters.The results show that: by using azimuthal polarization light as depletion
the FWHM is better than those of radial or circular ones; modulations of phase and amplitude are able to reduce the FWHM
and the theoretical value of effective fluorescent excitation FWHM is only 13.2 nm after optimization.By using polarization state
phase and amplitude to modulate the depletion focus spot
the FWHM can be reduced and a higher resolution can be obtained
which is more effective than that using only single physical variable.Moreover
the high quality depletion focus spot and super-resolution ability can be obtained with azimuthal polarization light in STED and the resolution can further be optimized by phase or amplitude modulations based on different realities.
