Research Abstract

The PSTM system which had been already developed in our previous works improved and modified for high-speed and high-sensitivity. Additionally, the elimination of vibrations and noises was pursued to impove the system's performance. Near fields at microwave region were measured in order to understand the optical near fields utilized in PSTM,because we discovered that images obtained with the PSTM do not reflect the surface contour of objects accurately. Some primary results are listed below :
Improvement of PSTM System
The overall performance of the system was improved for high-speed and high-sensitivity by redesigning the driving circuit of laser diodes and probe-manipulating systems. Two laser sources were used to decrease the errors in the measurement of edge-like objects. Although the PSTM image obtained with each laser source is strongly deformed, the precise image which reflects the surface of objects can be obtained by measuring two PSTM images simultaneously and combining them.
Measurements of Near Field by Microwave
The PSTM system utilizes the optical near fields. Near field eexperiments with microwave were carried out for comparison. The advantage is that the surface of objects can be controlled with good precision, because the wavelength is of the order of centimeters. Also local field intensity can be detected by a diode directly. In this research a series of basic experiments was performed. First, the evanescent wave on the surface of paraffin prism was detected by a diode. Then paraffin probes which simulate optical fiber tips were made and the surface of paraffin prism was scanned. Fairly good analogy with the PSTM was demonstrated.
Theoretical Analysis of Localized Mode for Metal Surface Plasmon
The localizaton of a metal surface plasmon was demonstrated by a computer simulation. The conditions for the localization were investigated.
