The optical near-field of an aperture tip (2007)
Drezet, A., Nasse, M. J., Huant, S., Woehl, J. C.
We use fluorescent nanospheres as scalar detectors for the electric-field intensity in order to probe the near-field of an optical tip used in aperture-type near-field scanning optical microscopy...
Remote optical addressing of single nano-objects (2006)
Brun, M., Drezet, A., Mariette, H., Woehl, J. C., Huant, S.
We present a scheme for remotely addressing single nano-objects by means of near-field optical microscopy that makes only use of one of the most fundamental properties of electromagnetic radiation:...
CdSe-single-nanoparticle based active tips for near-field optical microscopy (2006)
Chevalier, N., Nasse, M. J., Woehl, J . C., Reiss, P., Bleuse, J., Chandezon, F., ...
We present a method to realize active optical tips for use in near-field optics that can operate at room temperature. A metal-coated optical tip is covered with a thin polymer layer stained with CdSe...
