구멍에 의한 빛의 회절은 광학의 기본적인 문제로서, 최근 근접장 광학(Near-Field Optics)의 발전과 더불어서 파장보다 작은 구멍에서 일어나는 빛의 회절에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다.$^{(1)(2)(3)}$ 본 연구에서는 그동안 주로 이론적으로 다루어지고 있던 파장보다 작은 금속 구멍을 통한 빛의 회절에 대해 실험결과들을 보고한다. 회절된 빛의 먼장(Far-field)과, 근접장(Near-field)을 모두 측정하기 위해서 고체각 주사기(Solid angle scanner)와 근접장 주사 광학 현미경(Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy)이 사용되었다. 고체각 주사기(Solid angle scanner)를 사용하여 반구면 위에서의 빛의 이차원 세기 분포가 다양한 편광 상태에 따라서 측정되었고$^{(4)}$ 근접장 탐침(NSOM probe)으로 작은 금속 구멍주변을 주사함으로서 근접장이 측정되었다. 작은 구멍은 최근에 개발된 고출력 근접장 광섬유 탐침(High-power near-field fiber probe)구조를 이용하여 제작되었다.$^{(5)}$

근접장 주사 광학 현미경(Near-field scanning optical microscope)에서 가장 중요한 부분은 바로 근접장 탐침(Near-field optical probe)이다. 가간 널리 사용되는 근접장 탐침은 끝 부분에 매우 작은 구멍만 남기고 나머지 부분은 금속으로 코팅한 뾰족한 광섬유(Metal-clad tapered optical fiber)이다. 탐침의 끝에 형성된 작은 구멍은 진행하지 못하는 근접장(Near-field)을 진행하는 먼장(Far-field)으로 바꾸어줌으로서 회절한계를 뛰어넘는 분해능을 가능하게 한다. 그러나, 이러한 작은 구멍은 매우 작은 투과 효율(Transmission efficiency)을 가지기 때문에 고밀도 광기록(High-density optical recording)등에 이용하는데 큰 어려움이 있었다.$^{(1).(3)}$ 따라서 금속이 코팅된 뾰족한 광섬유 내에서 빛이 어떻게 진행되는지에 대한 연구를 통해 보다 높은 효율을 가지는 근접장 탐침을 개발하는 것이 중요한 과제가 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 금속이 코팅된 뾰족한 광섬유 도파로 내에서 구멍의 크기와 빛의 투과 효율의 관계를 보고한다.

We carried out the high-resolution dielectric mapping of graphenes on $SiO_2$/Si substrate, using the scattering Apertureless Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopy (s-ANSOM) in both visible (633 nm) and infrared (3.6 um) wavelengths. In the visible wavelength, the dielectric contrasts are almost proportional to the number of the graphene layers, which indicates that the near-field interaction between the tip and individual graphene layers leads to an image charge oscillation in two-dimension. In the infrared region, on the other hand, we observe unique layer-specific contrasts that do not linearly increase with number of layers. It is attributed to the layer-dependent band- structure of graphenes.

The scanning Maxwell-stress microscopy (SMM) is a dynamic noncontact electric force microscopy that allows simultaneous access to the electrical properties of molecular system such as surface potential, surface charge, dielectric constant and conductivity along with the topography. The Scanning near-field optical / atomic force microscopy (SNOAM) is a new tool for surface imaging which was introduced as one application of the atomic force microscope (AFM). Operated with non-contact forces between the optical fiber and sample as well as equipped with the piezoscanners, the instrument reports on surface topology without damaging or modifying the surface for measuring of optical characteristic in the films. We report our recent results of its application to nanoscopic study of domain structures and electrical functionality in organic thin films by SMM. Furthermore, we have illustrated the SNOAM image in obtaining the merocyanine dye films as well as the optical image.

The near-field scanning micro scope (NSOM) technique is in the spotlight as the next generation storage device. Many different types of read/write mechanism for NSOM have been introduced in the literature. In order for a near-field probe to be successfully implemented in the system, a suitable slider and suspension are needed to be properly designed. The optical slider is designed considering near-filed optics and probe array. The suspension generally supports slider performance, and tracking servo capacity in HDD. Moreover, the suspension for optical slider also should meet the optical characteristics, and is also required to satisfy shock performances for the mobility for the actuator. In this study, the optical slider and the suspension for near-field probe array are designed and analyzed.

광원의 근처에만 존재하는 근접장(Near-field)이 먼장(Far-field)과는 매우 다른 특성을 보인다는 것은 널리 알려진 사실이다. 일반적으로 먼장은 횡파(transverse wave)이며 광원에서 멀어질수록 1/r의 함수로 그 세기가 감소하는데 반하여, 근접장은 시간의존항을 제외하고는 정적인 분포를 보이고(static), 종파(logitudinal wave)성분이 오히려 크며 광원의 미세구조에 직접 관련되어 있다. 이러한 근접장이 근접장 주사 광학현미경(Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy)의 발전으로 인해 실험적으로 연구되기 시작하면서 여러 가지 예기치 못한 현상들이 발견되고 있다. 그중 하나로서, 원편광된 빛(Circularly polarized light)을 내는 광원의 근접장을 측정한 실험에서 광원에 접근할수록 원편광이 사라지는 현상이 실험적으로 보고된바 있다.$^{(1)}$ 본 발표에서는 Bethe의 모델과 다중극 장(Multipole field)의 근접장을 분석하여 고전전자기론 내에서 근접장의 각 운동량에 대해 논의한다.

I will present my research group's recent investigation on how the localized plasmon of a nanoparticle interacts with another plasmon, and with nearby molecules. First, I will demonstrate the use of scattering-type scanning near-field microscopy (s-SNOM) to directly visualize the capacitive / conductive coupling in dimeric nanoparticles and heterometallic nanorods. Second, I will talk about the use of gap-plasmons to locally induce photochemical reactions, and to follow chemical kinetics of individual organic molecules using the gap-plasmons. As a last topic, I will talk about the use of near-field coupling between a scanning probe and graphenes to visualize / identify the stacking domains (e. g., ABA versus ABC-type stacking in triple layer) hidden in multilayer graphenes.

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) formed by the adsorption of alkanethiols, $HS(CH_2)_nX$, where X is an organic functional group, onto gold surfaces have attracted widespread interest as templates for the fabrication of molecular and biomolecular microstructures. Previously photopatterning has been thought of as being restricted to the micron scale, because of the wellknown diffraction limit. So, we have explored a novel approach to nanofabrication by utilizing a femtosecond laser coupled to a near-field scanning optical microscope (NSOM).
