Abstract

We have developed, manufactured, and tested a system of low-profile scanning probe microscopy (SPM) deflectometer capable of increasing the numerical aperture of objectives to a record high value of NA = 0.75. Implementation of this system will significantly improve performance characteristics of the optical microspectroscopy (OM) methods realized in combined SPM/OM systems.
