  • First Online:
Near-Field Optics and Surface Plasmon Polaritons

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 81))

Abstract

In this chapter, I will show an apertureless metallic probe which enhances the electromagnetic field locally at its apex and achieves nanometric spatial resolution for near-field optical microscopy. The principle of the apertureless metallic probe and its features are described. Several near-field optical images are shown, and the contrast mechanism of microscopy is discussed.

The application to Raman spectroscopy is also described for molecular imaging and sensing.
