Scanning near-field optical microscopy with white-light illumination: nanoscale imaging and spectroscopy of resonant systems
We present the realisation of near-field spectroscopic measurements with fibre-tip-based scanning near-field microscopy. It allows simultaneous acquisition of near-field optical images in a broad spectral range (400 nm to 1000 nm), thus recovering local spectroscopic information. The technique is essential for understanding the resonant interaction of light with nanostructured objects as the fa...

925-Pos Novel Visualisation Techniques for Localisation Microscopy David Baddeley, Isuru D. Jayasinghe, Sabrina Roßberger, Mark B. Cannell, Christian Soeller. University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand. Localisation microscopy techniques based on localising single fluorophore molecules now routinely achieve accuracies better than 30 nm. Unlike conventional optical microscopy approaches, loca...
متن کاملSimultaneous observation of the quantization and the interference pattern of a plasmonic near-field
Surface plasmon polaritons can confine electromagnetic fields in subwavelength spaces and are of interest for photonics, optical data storage devices and biosensing applications. In analogy to photons, they exhibit wave-particle duality, whose different aspects have recently been observed in separate tailored experiments. Here we demonstrate the ability of ultrafast transmission electron micros...
متن کاملNanoscale Control of Molecular Self-Assembly Induced by Plasmonic Hot-Electron Dynamics.
Self-assembly processes allow designing and creating complex nanostructures using molecules as building blocks and surfaces as scaffolds. This autonomous driven construction is possible due to a complex thermodynamic balance of molecule-surface interactions. As such, nanoscale guidance and control over this process is hard to achieve. Here we use the highly localized light-to-chemical-energy co...
متن کاملNonperturbative visualization of nanoscale plasmonic field distributions via photon localization microscopy.
We demonstrate the nonperturbative use of diffraction-limited optics and photon localization microscopy to visualize the controlled nanoscale shifts of zeptoliter mode volumes within plasmonic nanostructures. Unlike tip- or coating-based methods for mapping near fields, these measurements do not affect the electromagnetic properties of the structure being investigated. We quantify the local fie...
