摘要
We apply the field enhancement effect due to plasmon polariton excitation on a metallic nanostructure in order to improve the diffraction limited spatial resolution of coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) microscopy. A cantilever probe tip coated with a 25 nm-thick gold film is utilized as a near-field light source to locally excite the CARS polarizations near the tip. Our CARS microscope has effectively enhanced the CARS signals and realized vibrational imaging of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) beyond the spatial resolution of far-field CARS microscopy.
