Abstract

The super-resolution effects obtained by monochromatic evanescent waves are related to many photon momentum cooperative effects reducing the propagation wavelength inversely proportional to the photon momentum number and increasing the resolution far beyond the Rayleigh criterion. The quantization of such monochromatic waves is made in momentum space using a special dispersion relation.
