Abstract
Recently we have introduced the scanning plasmon near-field microscope (SPNM) which achieves a resolution of a few nanometers. Resonantly excited extended surface plasmons generate an optical near-field which is locally probed by a sharp tip. The technique is applied to imaging of dye clusters and photooxidation of dyes. Here we present another type of optical near-field microscope, the scanning near-field ellipsometric microscope (SNEM).
