Abstract
The super resolution near field structure (SR) which incorporates an AgOx
thin film was studied using a finite difference time domain modeling
tool. The goal is to explain the physical mechanism(s) responsible for
the SR phenomenon in these types of structures. Both absorption and
readout characteristics were studied. Modeling results indicate that the
SR structure which contains a AgOx active layer can
produce super-resolution when the aperture formed in the active layer
consists of a annular cylinder of small Ag particles which surround a
transparent homogeneous `hole' filled with a low index material such as O2.
