The validity of reflection-back-to-the-fiber SNOM (scanning near-field optical microscopy) has been unduely questioned by an erratic approach curve that disputed the enhancement of near-field reflectance. It is shown now that only truncated (broken) tips without metal coating do not experience the e

Abstract
In this article, the ordinary optical waveguides are investigated by the near field optical microscopy (NSOM). Three kinds of experimental systems are set up and the corresponding operation modes of NSOM (illumination mode, illuminationβcollection mode and collection mode) are realized and analyzed.

## Abstract This report presents the Apertureless Scanning Optical NearβField Microscope as a powerful tool for the characterization of modern optoelectronic and photonic components with subβwavelength resolution. We present an overview of the results we obtained in our laboratory over the past few
We show theoretically and experimentally that beam profiling with a vibrating knife exhibits spatial resolution equal to the knife-edge excursion. We discuss the implications of this for near-field optical scanning microscopy, propose an extension of the method to two dimensions, and calculate impul
