Fully-metal-coated near-field optical probes, based on a cantilever design, have been studied theoretically and experimentally. Numerical simulations prove that these structures allow non-zero modal emission of the electromagnetic field trough a 60 nm thic ...
On the basis of the Neyman-Scott process a model is proposed to generate rainfall at two sites simultaneously. This model takes into account the correlation, which is produced by generating bivariate correlated variates. The cross correlation between the s ...
We present the design and analysis of a tunable resonant optical filter based on modulation of the near-field coupling between two subwavelength periodic nanostructures embedded in a Fabry-Pérot cavity. Due to the transverse localization of the optical fie ...
Combining the subwavelength resolution of near-field interactions with the optical contrast mechanisms of classical optical microscopy makes scanning near-field optical microscopy an interesting technique for many applications. In spite of more than ten ye ...
The main purpose of this thesis is to explore a new concept of SNOM probes. In order to produce more reliable and reproducible tips, we propose to graft a single gold particle of 60 nm diameter onto the aperture of a SNOM probe. The expected advantage of s ...
[1] We use the Green's tensor technique to study the optical processes taking place in configurations typically used for the replication and characterization of nanostructures. For the replication process we investigate light-coupling masks for optical con ...
The propagation of the electromagnetic field in fully coated near field optical probes was analyzed. It was proved that these structures allow nonzero modal emission of the electromagnetic field through a 60-nm thick metallic layer. It was also found that ...
The design of tips is of outstanding importance to obtain maximal efficiency in scanning near-field microscopy. As a support towards this optimization, this work presents the computation of the electromagnetic field penetrating into two-dimensional tips. T ...
We will present experimental and theoretical studies of optical fields with subwavelength structures, in particular phase singularities and coherent detection methods with nanometric resolution. An electromagnetic field is characterized by an amplitude, a ...
This paper. discusses recent theoretical efforts to develop a general and flexible method for the calculation of the field distributions around and inside complex optical systems involving both dielectric and metallic materials. Starting from the usual lig ...
