Abstract

The question of the possibility of determining the distance between two closely located blinking single colloidal quantum dots using the super-resolution far-field luminescence microscopy technique is examined. The results of the numerical simulation of microscopic images of a single pair of point sources of light for various modes of luminescence blinker are presented. Using the developed algorithm with subdiffraction accuracy, the relative position of the emitters in a pair is determined for various types of blinking dynamics of single quantum dots in model and laboratory experiments.
