Introduction to SNOM: The Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM) stands as a pivotal analytical tool in nanotechnology, enabling the visualization of nanostructures with resolution beyond the ...
Penetrating ever farther into the submicron world, microscope designers have broken through the diffraction barrier that once stood between researchers and the mysterious depths of the nano world.
PEEM emerges as a key tool for imaging ultra-confined optical fields, offering high sensitivity and minimal disturbance, ...
Vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) is a nonlinear spectroscopic method widely used to investigate the molecular structure and dynamics of surface systems. However, in far-field observations, ...
Near-field optics operates on the principle that when light interacts with objects smaller than its wavelength, it can produce an evanescent wave that decays exponentially with distance but provides ...
A study published in Nano Letters by researchers from the Florida State University Department of Physics and FSU-headquartered National High Magnetic Field Laboratory explores how physical ...
The optical field with sub-nanometer confinement can greatly enhance light-matter interactions at nanoscale (e.g., enabling forbidden atomic transitions) and push extreme optical technologies (e.g., ...
