Characterisation of metallic particle distributions by scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) in simultaneous reflection and transmission mode

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2014 in the subject Physics - Optics, grade: 1,3, Free University of Berlin, language: English, abstract: Unlike conventional optics, scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) overcomes the Rayleigh criterion and can therefore achieve better resolutions than conventional optical microscopes. This feature is utilized to measure the optical properties of different s...
