Synopsis

Near-field optics is a new and growing field in microscopy which exploits small apertures in close proximity to imaged surfaces to achieve super resolution. This lavishly illustrated book is designed as an entrance to the literature, a reference and a user's guide. Introduces the basic optics necessary to understand near-field phenomena. Describes the instrumentation design of the near-field optical microscope. Provides applications of this methodology to areas such as semiconductors, lasers and optical data storage.

À propos de l?auteur

MICHAEL A. PAESLER is Professor of Physics at North Carolina State University. At the University's Precision Engineering Center he heads a group that exploits the near-field microscope's ability to provide spectral and temporal contrast. He has explored the optical performance and fabrication of tapered optical fibers as well as the theory of the behavior of light in the near-field.

PATRICK J. MOYER is Professor of Physics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. A former researcher with TopoMetrix of Santa Clara, California, he was the chief scientist responsible for the design and development of the first commercially available near-field scanning optical microscope.
