Title :
Near field probes from photonic crystal fibers: proposal and analysis
Author_Institution :
OFS Labs., Somerset, NJ
Abstract :
Nano-structured PCFs are suggested to use as super-resolving near-field probes. It is shown that the contrast and resolution of these probes are increased with the size and complexity of the PCF nanostructure.
