摘要
We report the development of a scattering-type near-field scanning optical microscope (sNSOM) which operates at temperatures down to 100 K with a scanning range of up to 400 mu m. We have used this sNSOM to map the electromagnetic near-field on mid-IR and terahertz (THz) surface emitting quantum cascade lasers with photonic-crystal resonators. Mid-IR devices operate at lambda = 7.5 mu m (40 THz) while THz devices operate at lambda approximate to 110 mu m (2.7 THz). The near-field images-in agreement with numerical calculations-demonstrate an instrument resolution of 100's nm. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3597411]
