We demonstrate that an array of metallic nanorods enables sub-wavelength (near-field) imaging at infrared frequencies. Using an homogenization approach, it is theoretically proved that under certain conditions the incoming radiation can be transmitted by the array of nanorods over a significant distance with fairly low attenuation. The propagation mechanism does not involve a resonance of material parameters and thus the resolution is not strongly affected by material losses and has wide bandwidth. The sub-wavelength imaging with $lambda/10$ resolution by silver rods at 30 THz is demonstrated numerically using full-wave electromagnetic simulator.

An experimental investigation of sub-wavelength imaging by a wire medium slab is performed. A complex-shaped near field source is used in order to test imaging performance of the device. It is demonstrated that the ultimate bandwidth of operation of the constructed imaging device is 4.5% that coincides with theoretical predictions [Phys. Rev. E 73, 056607 (2006)]. Within this band the wire medium slab is capable of transmitting images with lambda/15 resolution irrespectively of the shape and complexity of the source. Actual bandwidth of operation for particular near-field sources can be larger than the ultimate value but it strongly depends on the configuration of the source.
Inplane magnetization reversal of a permalloy/platinum bilayer was detected using the spin rectification effect. Using a sub GHz microwave frequency to excite spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST FMR) in the bilayer induces two discrete DC voltage s around an external static magnetic field of 0 mT. These discrete voltages depend on the magnetization directions of the permalloy and enable detection of the inplane magnetization reversal. The threshold current density for the magnetization reversal is from 10 to 20 MA/cm^2, the same order as for known spin orbit torque (SOT) switching with in-plane magnetization materials. The magnitude of the signal is the same or larger than that of the typical ST FMR signal; that is, detection of magnetization switching is highly sensitive in spite of deviation from the optimal ST-FMR condition. The proposed method is applicable to a simple device structure even for a small ferromagnetic electrode with a width of 100 nm.

Noise measurements have been carried out in the LISA bandwidth (0.1 mHz to 100 mHz) to characterize an all-optical atomic magnetometer based on nonlinear magneto-optical rotation. This was done in order to assess if the technology can be used for spa ce missions with demanding low-frequency requirements like the LISA concept. Magnetometry for low-frequency applications is usually limited by $1/f$ noise and thermal drifts, which become the dominant contributions at sub-millihertz frequencies. Magnetic field measurements with atomic magnetometers are not immune to low-frequency fluctuations and significant excess noise may arise due to external elements, such as temperature fluctuations or intrinsic noise in the electronics. In addition, low-frequency drifts in the applied magnetic field have been identified in order to distinguish their noise contribution from that of the sensor. We have found the technology suitable for LISA in terms of sensitivity, although further work must be done to characterize the low-frequency noise in a miniaturized setup suitable for space missions.
We show that interference can be the principle of operation of an all-optical switch and other nanoscale plasmonic interference devices (PIDs). The optical response of two types of planar plasmonic waveguides is studied theoretically: bent chains and Y-shaped configurations of closely-spaced metallic nanospheres. We study symmetric Y-shape arrays as an example of an all-optical switch and demonstrate that effective phase- and amplitude-sensitive control of the output signal can be achieved due to interference effects.
We present a solid state magnetic field imaging technique using a two dimensional array of spins in diamond. The magnetic sensing spin array is made of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers created at shallow depths. Their optical response is used for measur ing external magnetic fields in close proximity. Optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) is readout from a 60x60 $mu$m field of view in a multiplexed manner using a CCD camera. We experimentally demonstrate full two-dimensional vector imaging of the magnetic field produced by a pair of current carrying micro-wires. The presented widefield NV magnetometer offers in addition to its high magnetic sensitivity of 20 nT/$sqrt{Hz}$ and vector reconstruction, an unprecedented spatio-temporal resolution and functionality at room temperature.
