摘要
A reflection scanning near-field optical microscope with polarization-sensitive light detection for operation in ultrahigh vacuum is presented. All necessary stages to reach the final goal of subwavelength resolution in magneto-optics are considered step by step, validating our approach and demonstrating the usefulness of the final instrument. A number of problems are attacked and discussed, but some are only treated to an extent necessary to bring the instrument to operation. Sub-lambda resolution of a nonmagnetic polarization signal is demonstrated. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.
