The aim of this bachelor’s thesis is fabrication of probes for scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) and testing of their functionality by measuring interference patterns of surface plasmon polaritons (SPP). The theoretical part deals with the basic properties of SPP’s and methods of their excitation and detection. In the experimental part, methods of sharp tip fabrication by chemical etching, thin film deposition by ion beam sputtering (IBS) or by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) and aperture opening by focused ion beam (FIB) are explained and demonstrated. Finally, interference patterns of SPP’s are measured with fabricated probes and the results are compared with the results obtained with commercially available probes.
