Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates generally to the field of spectroscopy, and more particularly to tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy that provides an enhanced contrast-ratio of a near-field Raman signal to a background signal. The near-field Raman signal is captured from a small volume of material near a metal-coated tip thereby achieving submicron lateral resolution. L'invention concerne en général le domaine de la spectroscopie et plus particulièrement la spectroscopie Raman à pointe améliorée, produisant un rapport de contraste amélioré entre un signal Raman de champ proche et un signal de fond. Le signal Raman de champ proche est capturé dans un petit volume de matière à proximité d'une pointe recouverte de métal, une résolution latérale submicronique étant ainsi obtenue.
