“…Among the different scanning probe techniques, near-field optical lithography is one of the favored techniques. [1][2][3][4] In near-field optical lithography, the optical near field produced at the tip of a nanoprobe, within a range on the order of 10 -50 nm, interacts with the sample to produce nanometer-sized patterns. Because the interaction between the optical near field and the sample surface is basically either a photochemical or photothermal process, conventional materials used in far-field optical lithography, for example, photoresists or photopolymers, can be used as well as new material, which is another benefit of near-field optical lithography over other SPM techniques.…”

Next these fields are quantized and general expressions for the main observables are derived. Statistical mechanics of quasiparlicles then follow via the use of covariant Wigner functions.

“…The main barrier to terabit optical memory media is the Abbé diffraction limit, which limits the optical resolution attainable to approximately half the laser wavelength. As a result, current efforts to increase the areal memory density of optical data storage media are geared toward development of durable compact short-wavelength blue or green lasers, , solid immersion lens (SIL) optics, and diode lasers with nanosized apertures …”

Near-Field Optical Addressing of Luminescent Photoswitchable Supramolecular Systems Embedded in Inert Polymer Matrices

et al. 2004

Optical recording and luminescence readout of novel covalently linked photochrome/luminophore supramolecular complexes has been demonstrated by near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Localized UV irradiation of these complexes dispersed in polymeric matrices resulted in photoinduced state switching and a concomitant increase in emission intensity. Subsequent luminescence imaging showed wellresolved luminescent data bit arrays with good signal-to-noise ratios. Spatially resolved emission spectra of the luminescent data bits confirmed the switching mechanism.
