摘要

Abstract

The expansion of nanoscale optics has generated a variety of scanning probe geometries that yield spatial resolution below 10 nm. In this work

we present a physical model for coupling far-field radiation to plasmonic modes on the surface of a scanning probe

and propose a scheme for extending the working distance of such a probe. In a subsurface application

an optical transformer at the tip of a probe can be coupled to a remote near-field antenna placed inside the sample at a distance away from the surface

expanding the effective working distance up to 100 nm.
