Near-field effects in single molecule emission.
We present the first experimental proof of the influence of a nearby nano-sized metal object on the angular photon emission by a single molecule. A novel angular sensitive detection scheme is implemented in an existing near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM). The positioning accuracy ( approximately 1 nm) of the NSOM allows a systematic investigation of the intensity ratio between two dif...
متن کاملSurface enhancement in near-field Raman spectroscopy
The intensity and selection rules of Raman spectra change as a metal surface approaches the sample. We study the distance dependence of the new Raman modes with a near-field scanning optical microscope ~NSOM!. The metal-coated NSOM probe provides localized illumination of a metal surface with good distance control. Spectra are measured as the probe approaches the surface, and the changes elucid...
متن کاملField enhancement in apertureless near-field scanning optical microscopy.
The near field of an apertureless near-field scanning optical microscopy probe is investigated with a multiple-multipole technique to obtain optical fields in the vicinity of a silicon probe tip and a glass substrate. The results demonstrate that electric field enhancements of >15 relative to the incident fields can be achieved near a silicon tip, implying intensity enhancements of several orde...
متن کاملTheory of magnetic-field enhancement of surface-field terahertz emission
We present a theoretical treatment of surface–field THz generation in semiconductors, which explains the power enhancement observed when a magnetic field is applied. Our model consists of two parts: a Monte Carlo simulation of the dynamics of carriers generated by a subpicosecond optical pulse, and a calculation of the resulting THz radiation emitted through the semiconductor surface. The magne...
متن کاملNear-field surface plasmon field enhancement induced by rippled surfaces
The occurrence of plasmon resonances on metallic nanometer-scale structures is an intrinsically nanoscale phenomenon, given that the two resonance conditions (i.e., negative dielectric permittivity and large free-space wavelength in comparison with system dimensions) are realized at the same time on the nanoscale. Resonances on surface metallic nanostructures are often experimentally found by p...
