  1. Development of A New Paradigm for Apertureless Near-fieldScanning Optical MicroscopeGang-yu Liu, University of California-Davis, DMR 0723118 A new approach for apertureless NSOM is developed to utilizes sharp AFM probe to enhance the local field. Conventional AFM probes exhibit photoluminescence upon excitation by a focused visible laser beam. This tip provides a “point light source” for NSOM imaging and spectroscopy. The intrinsic advantages of this approach include: (a) high photon throughput with the ability to tune wavelength; (b) simplicity in detection of near-field optical signals because the PL exhibits different wavelength from the excitation beam. Bottom high spatial resolution of a bimetallic nanostructure array due to the apertureless AFM platform with sharp probes and effective deflection feedback.
