Problems solved by technology

Although it captures the phase of near-field scattered light, there are two disadvantages associated with the pseudo-heterodyne technique
The first disadvantage is the reduced signal level due to the detection of weak sidebands instead of the main band in the lock detection
A second potential disadvantage is that it measures the phase of near-field scattered light rather than the imaginary part of the near-field
Although it offers multiple technical capabilities, this type of technology requires an expensive (approximately $300k in 2012) coherent broadband light source, which in turn requires low laser energy resulting in inherently low signal quality, which limits its practical application

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a procedure to obtain the absorption profiles of molecular resonance with ANSOM. The method includes setting a reference field phase to phi=0.5 pi relative to the near-field field, and reference amplitude A>=5|alphaeff|. The requirement on phase precision is found to be <0.3 pi. This method enables ANSOM performing vibrational spectroscopy at nanoscale spatial resolution.

Background technique [0004] Aperture-free near-field scanning optical microscopy (ANSOM) provides spatial resolution beyond the diffraction limit of light. However, for some spectroscopy applications, there is a key problem to be solved by ANSOM, namely: the directly detectable near-field scattering signal has a dispersion lineshape rather than an abso...
