Infrared scanning near-field optical microscopy (IR-SNOM) is an extremely powerful analytical instrument since it combines IR spectroscopy's high chemical specificity with SNOM's high spatial resolution. In order to do this in the infrared, specialty chalc ...
In this paper, we present near-field optical images of nanostructures exhibiting an extraordinary transmission. These structures consist of annular aperture arrays engraved in a metallic film: they are quite promising structures for nanophotonics because o ...
We report fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) measurements using near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM) probes to produce a sub-diffraction-limited observation area. An order of magnitude reduction in the area compared to confocal FCS has be ...
We report computational and experimental investigations on injection and transmission of light in microfabricated fully Aluminum-coated quartz probes. In particular, we show that a selective coupling of either the HE11 or the TM01 mode can be carried out b ...
Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) makes it routinely possible to overcome the fundamental diffraction limit of standard (far-field) microscopy. Recently, aperture-based infrared SNOM performed in the spectroscopic mode,using the Vanderbilt Univ ...
This thesis further explores the possibilities of scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in both materials and life sciences. Two experimental SNOM setups were developed: one designed for infrared spectroscopy applications and the other for the imag ...
The evolution path of nanotechnologies moves through the domain of microscopy. Among all the kinds of imaging tools available today, optical imaging systems are of primary importance. When using optical imaging systems, we take profit of the information re ...

The infrared (IR) absorption of a biological system can potentially report on fundamentally important microchemical properties. For example, molecular IR profiles are known to change during increases in metabolic flux, protein phosphorylation, or proteolyt ...
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 ...
In this thesis various phenomena that appear if light interacts with objects having a size comparable to the wavelength are experimentally and theoretically analysed. The work is concentrated on the analysis of phase singularities in electromagnetic fields ...
