Abstract

We review some spectroscopy experiments applied to the luminescence of nanostructured systems, excited highly locally by the tip of a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM). We first present briefly the principles of this STM-induced luminescence. The we present a review of selected results in STM-induced luminescence from the point of view of nano-scale photonics. We illustrate various contrast mechanisms with different examples of nanostructured systems.
