Terahertz Nano-Imaging with s-SNOM

Abstract: Spectroscopy and imaging with terahertz radiation propagating in free space suffer from the poor spatial resolution which is a consequence of the comparatively large wavelength of the radiation (300 μm at 1 THz in vacuum) in combination with the Abbe diffraction limit of focusing. A way to overcome this limitation is the application of near-field techniques. In this chapter, we focus on one of them, scattering-type Scanning Near-field Optical Microscopy (s-SNOM) which − due to its versatility − has come to pro… Show more

“…To get additional insight into the local variations of conductivity, a THz scanning near‐field optical microscopy (THz‐SNOM) setup [ 32 ] was employed (see Figure 1b and Section 6). Although the scattered THz electric field depends on complicated near‐field interactions between the sample and the SNOM tip, it can provide a qualitative relation between the growth defects, their topology, and the local conductivity of the CuMnAs film.…”
