Infrared-reflection-mode near-field microscopy using an apertureless probe with a resolution of lambda/600

We report a near-field optical microscopy experiment at lambda = 10.6 microm, using an apertureless metallic tip functioning simultaneously in the atomic force microscopy tapping mode. The 17-nm optical resolution (lambda/600) that we achieved confirms the validity and the potential of this concept...

Zusammenfassung:We report a near-field optical microscopy experiment at lambda = 10.6 microm, using an apertureless metallic tip functioning simultaneously in the atomic force microscopy tapping mode. The 17-nm optical resolution (lambda/600) that we achieved confirms the validity and the potential of this concept for numerous applications.
