Different schemes of dispersion compensation and the cascadability of chirped fiber gratings as dispersion compensators are in¨estigated. It is found that the coupling apodization profiles ha¨e great influences on the cascadability of the fiber gratings. In addition, we found that the optimal fiber

✦ Synopsis
A ¨ibrating metallic conical probe has been used in near-field microscopic measurements to obtain optical resolutions much smaller than the wa¨elength. Numerical simulations of these complex problems ha¨e drawn most of the attention in the past. We propose here an analytical expression for the electric field intensity in the near region of a probe situated abo¨e the surface of a semi-infinite dielectric medium. It is gi¨en as a function of the obser¨ation point location, with the cone aperture, the dielectric medium permitti¨ity, and the characteristics of the incident plane wa¨e as parameters.
