“…This intrinsic limit, also known as diffraction limit [ 29 , 30 ], has become the main obstacle to high-resolution optical imaging. Thus far, a great number of novel methods for achieving super-resolution imaging have been proposed and demonstrated experimentally in both near field and far field, such as near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) [ 31 , 32 , 33 ]; far-field superlens (FSL) [ 34 , 35 , 36 ], hyperlens [ 37 , 38 , 39 ], and metalens [ 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ]; stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) [ 44 , 45 , 46 , 47 ]; stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) [ 48 , 49 , 50 , 51 , 52 ]; structured illumination microscopy (SIM) [ 53 , 54 , 55 ]; plasmonic structured illumination microscopy derived from SIM [ 56 , 57 , 58 ], and so on [ 59 , 60 ]. It is worth mentioning that graphene-related materials exhibit different properties according to their lateral size, number of layers and oxidation degree.…”

Super-resolution optical imaging is a consistent research hotspot for promoting studies in nanotechnology and biotechnology due to its capability of overcoming the diffraction limit, which is an intrinsic obstacle in pursuing higher resolution for conventional microscopy techniques. In the past few decades, a great number of techniques in this research domain have been theoretically proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Graphene, a special two-dimensional material, has become the most meritorious candidate and attracted incredible attention in high-resolution imaging domain due to its distinctive properties. In this article, the working principle of graphene-assisted imaging devices is summarized, and recent advances of super-resolution optical imaging based on graphene are reviewed for both near-field and far-field applications.

This article provides an overview of plasmonic nano-antennas for photonic applications. This paper delves into the theoretical analysis of nano/optical antennas, including optical antenna impedance, near and far field characteristics, and directivity. The materials used for manufacturing optical antennas are discussed in the context of terahertz communication. The comparative analysis of different types of fabrication techniques on the nanoscale is presented as a requirement for the implementation of nano-antennas. The testing mechanism of the nano-antenna using microscopy techniques is also presented. A detailed review of the different shapes of the nano-antennas that are used for applications in the field of photonics is discussed. According to this review article, graphene, gold, and silver are the most promising materials. It is also noticed that pen-dip and direct growth are fast and inexpensive techniques for nano-antenna fabrication.
