Abstract :
To date, majority of the all-optical techniques for the characterization of metal nano-objects rely on the use of fundamental light scattering in conjunction with conventional polarizations such as linear and circular. In this work, we show the opportunities arising from the use of nonlinear optical (NLO) effects combined with cylindrical vector beams (CVB) for scanning microscopy of individual metal nano-objects.
