Original Abstract

Scaning near-field optical microscopy elucidates to the interaction of light with a sample close to an aperture, which constrains the lateral extent of the light beam. The aperture is held in place in a manner similar to those used for other scanning proximal probe microscopes. Advantages of the near-field interactions are: improved spatial resolution, simultaneous topographic image, surface enhancement, rapidly varying electric fields, and the presence of an electric field normal to the surface. some practical applications, e.g. single molecule detection, Raman scattering, polarization, magnetic imaging, data storage, biological imaging, quantum dots and quantum lines, nanolithography, photonic devices characterization are presented.
