A novel fabrication method for fluorescence-based apertureless scanning near-field optical microscope probes.
We report a novel method for the fabrication of probes with localized sub-wavelength fluorescing media at their extremities. We present our first results and discuss future plans to extend this technique to the systematic fabrication of fluorescent probes for apertureless scanning near-field optical microscopy.
