We have solved the problem in which a thin metal wafer (probe) with a nanohole interacts with the flat surface of a metastructured
film consisting of metal nanoparticles in an external optical radiation field. Nanoparticles are considered as two-level atomic
systems. This interaction of the wafer-probe and the flat surface in the external optical radiation field gives rise to optical
near-field resonance, the frequency of which differs significantly from the natural frequencies of two-level atoms in the
medium and the probe. The fields inside and outside the probe and metastructured film are calculated in the near-field and
far-field zones. The maximum resolution, which is achievable in the suggested scheme of near-field optical microscopy, can
reach about 10 nm.

The optical waveguide behaviors of CdS and CdS
x
Se1−x
nanostructures are studied using near-field optical microscopy. Optical measurements demonstrate that light may be guided
on sub-wavelength scales along CdS nanoribbons in straight or bent structures. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra from nanoribbon
emission using scanning near-field optical microscopy are analyzed under different incident laser intensities. The PL spectra
along Se-doped and undoped CdS nanoribbons at different propagation distances are investigated. Both the guided PL spectra
of Se-doped and undoped CdS nanoribbons show red-shifts because of the band-edge absorption. Our results are useful for the
development of new kinds of functional nano devices.

A novel scanning-probe setup is reported that maps the complex transmission of microwaves. Response to topographic features as small as 15 nm was observed. The sharpened coaxial probe tip serves as a microwave antenna and, at the same time, as a tunnel tip to warrant precise distance control by STM (scanning tunneling microscope) feedback. The instrument can be applied to map the microwave conductivity of, e.g. thin films or low-dimensional semiconductors. Consequences for the development of an infrared microscope are outlined. 相似文献

Dual mode near-field scanning optical microscopy for near-field imaging of surface plasmon polariton
In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that metal coated apertured probes are efficient near-field probes on surfaces with high reflectivity for the scattering as well as for the collection mode near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). We show that a blunt apertured metal coated tip is very effective in suppressing image dipoles which affect strongly the signals scattered from frequently used sharp metal tips or gold nanoparticle attached probes. By using a simultaneous collection and scattering mode (dual mode) NSOM we measure the near-field images of surface plasmon polariton (SPP) launched from a slit. The collection mode measures propagating SPP along lateral distance in a long scan range with high signal-to-noise ratio, and the scattering mode measures the polarization resolved near-field of SPP. Comparisons of the measured data obtained in the dual mode enable to easily characterize SPP and to separate the measured near-field into the propagating SPP and the directly transmitted light. 相似文献

A coupled-dipole approach is proposed in order to study the coupling between the probe tip and the rough sample in SNOM. In the present model both the optical probe tip and the sample protrusions are represented by polarizable dipole spheres. The induced polarization effects on the sample surface can be replaced by the image dipoles in the circumstance of quasi-static electromagnetic field approximation. Applying the radiation theory of the dipole, we have established a set of self-consistent equations to describe the field distribution at the sites of the probe tip and the sample protrusions. The results are completely the same as those obtained by means of the dyadic electromagnetic propagator formalism and also the derivation procedure is relatively simple. This method permits us to analyze the physical mechanisms of the interaction between the probe tip and the rough surface in SNOM intuitively. Based on this approach, we further discuss the influence of polarization of the incident light on the imaging quality. The calculating result shows that the shape and the contrast of the images of the sample are both sensitive to the field polarization, and the z-polarized mode is proved to give better resolution in SNOM. 相似文献

An easy-to-implement non-optical shear-force detection setup for tip–sample distance regulation in scanning near-field optical microscopy is demonstrated. The detection method is based on attaching the near-field probe to a piezoelectric tube resulting in excellent mechanical contact between tip and detector. The main advantages of the method are good signal-to-background contrast and thus potential for high sensitivity. The method is demonstrated by obtaining approach curves of silicon surfaces. The suitability for optical experiments is further shown by measuring the near-field intensity distribution of the emission of a semiconductor laser. 相似文献

Centromeres and telomeres are key structures of mitotic and meiotic chromosomes. Especially telomeres develop particular structural properties at meiosis. Here, we investigated the feasibility of scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) for light-microscopic imaging of meiotic telomeres in the sub-hundred nanometer resolution regime. SNOM was applied to visualise the synaptonemal complex (SC) and telomere proteins (TRF1, TRF2) after differential immuno-fluorescent labelling. We tested and compared two different preparation protocols for their applicability in a SNOM setting using micro-fabricated silicon nitride aperture tips. Protocol I consisted of differential labelling of meiotic chromosome cores (SC) by SCP3 immuno-fluorescence and telomeres by TRF1 or TRF2 immuno-fluorescence, while protocol II combined absorption labelling with alkaline phosphatase substrates of cores with fluorescent labelling of telomeres. The results obtained indicate that protocol I reveals a better visualisation of structural (topographic) details than protocol II. By means of SNOM, meiotic chromosome cores could be visualised at a resolution overtopping that of far-field light microscopy. 相似文献

In this paper, we study the dynamic modes of a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) which uses an optical fiber probe; and the sensitivity of flexural and axial vibration modes for the probe were derived and the closed-form expressions were obtained. According to the analysis, as expected each mode has a different sensitivity and the first mode is the most sensitive mode of flexural and axial vibration for the SNOM probe. The sensitivities of both flexural and axial modes are greater for a material surface that is compliant with the cantilever probe. As the contact stiffness increases, the high-order vibration modes are more sensitive than the lower-order modes. Furthermore, the axial contact stiffness has a significant effect on the sensitivity of the SNOM probe, and this should be noted when designing new cantilever probes. 相似文献

In addition to its well-known capabilities in imaging and spectroscopy, scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) has recently shown its great potentials for fabricating various structures at the nanoscale. A variety of SNOM-based fabrication techniques have been developed for different applications. In this paper, the SNOM-based techniques involving three major functions: material modification, addition, and removal, are examined with emphasis on their abilities and reliability to make structures with resolutions at the nanometer level. The principles and procedures underlying each technique are presented, and the differences and uniqueness among them are subsequently discussed. Finally, concluding remarks are provided to summarize the major techniques studied and to recommend the scopes for technology improvement and future research. 相似文献

We have developed a UHV system for in situ studies of magnetic domains and magnetization reversal of thin films in the presence of external magnetic fields and at variable temperature. The system comprises a setup for magneto-optical Kerr effect measurements of magnetization curves, a Kerr-microscope for far-field magnetic-domain imaging, and a magneto-optical scanning near-field microscope in combination with a Sagnac interferometer (Sagnac-SNOM) for high-resolution imaging on a sub-μm scale. All components have successfully been tested, and the feasibility of studying ultrathin films has been demonstrated. 相似文献

We have studied the influence of probe--sample interaction in a scanning near-field
optical microscopy (SNOM) in the far field by using samples with a step structure.
For a sample with a step height of $\sim \lambda $/4, the SNOM image contrast
between the two sides of the step changes periodically at different scan heights.
For a step height of $\sim \lambda $/2, the image contrast remains approximately the
same. The probe--sample interaction determines the SNOM image contrast here. The
influence of different refractive indices of the sample has been also analysed by
using a simple theoretical model. 相似文献

We theoretically investigate scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) of semiconductor quantum dots. A general theoretical framework is developed that accounts for photo excitation and relaxation in complex dielectric environments. We find that in the near-field regime bright and dark excitonic states become mixed, opening new channels for the coupling to the electromagnetic field. 相似文献

We investigate the effectiveness of differential detection, which is a combination of probe-dithering and synchronous detection, in discriminating near-field light interaction from background light interaction in apertureless near-field optical microscopy (NSOM). The lateral differential NSOM with a photocantilever is more effective than the vertical differential detection, which does not always provide sufficient discrimination. The V-dithering-based lateral differential detection provides apertureless NSOM that can image the optical coupling between sample and probe dipoles, which is an interaction through near-field light.This paper was originally presented at the 5th International Conference on NEAR FIELD OPTICS and RELATED TECHNOLOGIES (NFO-5), which was held on December 6–10, 1998 at Coganoi Bay Hotel, Shirahama, Japan, in cooperation with the Japan Society of Applied Physics and Mombusho Grant-in Aid for Scientific Research on Priority Areas “Near-field Nano-optics” Project, sponsored by Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. 相似文献
