✦ Synopsis


In this paper we report on experimental evidence of laser light confinement between ferroelectric domains in the neodymium doped Ba~2~NaNb~5~O~15~ ferroelectric crystal. High contrast near field optical microscopy images have been obtained as a consequence of the periodic modulation in the refractive index caused by the presence of 2D antiparallel ferroelectric domains.
