Abstract
In the field of nano-optics there is a strong demand of confined radiation sources for local optical spectroscopy of single molecules or quantum structures, as well as for background-free Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (SNOM) and optical nanowriting applications towards the 10-nm resolution range.
