摘要：

We propose a new scheme for high-resolution near-field optical imaging. The method relies on the highly enhanced fields at sharp metal tips under laser illumination. These fields are laterally confined to the tip size and can be used to locally excite the sample surface. Illumination along the tip axis with a higher-order beam mode (Hermite-Gaussian(1,0) mode) and detection of nonlinear responses (two-photon fluorescence, generation of second/third harmonics) ensure sufficient background discrimination. We outline the theory of laser beams beyond the paraxial approximation and investigate the electromagnetic fields for the proposed scheme. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
