  • Abstract
    The polarization dependence of reflection-mode SNOM observation is characterized. An Al/glass grating with a fine structure is observed by SNOM. SNOM images observed with parallel- and perpendicular-polarized light show different feature each other. The difference is also studied by means of computer simulations.
