Near-Field Optical Characterization of Nanocomposite Materials
نویسنده
چکیده
*We present a near-field optical technique *-hich makes use of the strongly enhanced optical field at a laser-illuminated metal tip. The enhanced field is used to locally excite the sample under investigation by multiphoton absorption. An optical scan image w-ith spatial resolutions dow-n to 20 nm is established by detecting the emitted fluorescence. The principle of the method is described and experimental results are demonstrated for samples of J-aggregates of PIC dye molecules. Ongoing experiments on nanocomposite, Er"-doped oxyfluoride glass-ceramics are discussed.

An overview of scanning near-field optical microscopy in characterization of nano-materials
Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) is a member of scanning probe microscopes (SPMs) family which enables nanostructure investigation of the surfaces on a wide range of materials. In fact, SNOM combines the SPM technology to the optical microscopy and in this way provide a powerful tool to study nano-structures with very high spatial resolution. In this paper, a qualified overview of ...
