摘要
This paper addresses an important issue of light throughput of a metal-coated tapered tip for scanning near-field microscope (SNOM). Corrugations of the interface between the fiber core and metal coating in the form of parallel grooves of different profiles etched in the core considerably increase the energy throughput. In 2D FDTD simulations in the Cartesian coordinates we calculate near-field light emitted from such tips. For a certain wavelength range total intensity of forward emission from the corrugated tip is 10 times stronger than that from a classical tapered tip. When realized in practice the idea of corrugated tip may lead up to twice better resolution of SNOM. (c) 2007 Optical Society of America.
