Abstract
Near-field optics deals with the local electromagnetic interaction between optical field and matters in a nanometric scale. Due to the size-dependent localization and size-dependent resonance, optical near-field is completely free from diffraction of light. The initial idea of near field optics as a super-resolution imaging tool, in a somewhat primitive form, has been proposed in 1928 [1]. After about half a century of silence, basic research has been started early 1980’s by several groups in Europe, US and Japan almost independently.
