Abstract

Nonlinear optical phenomena can be induced by utilizing the high optical energy density of the evanescent field, which can lead to the processing of nanometric areas of material surfaces, the fabrication of nanometric optical functional devices, and nanometric photolithography. As an example of realizing photonic devices with nanometric dimensions, experiments on high-density optical storage using the I-mode NOM have been carried out.
