Abstract

Near-field probe apertures are created for bent and chemically etched fibers using a technique based upon controlled compression of a malleable Au coating. Reproducible, near-circular apertures free of protrusions are obtained. The probes are first characterized using scanning electron microscopy and a near-field test pattern, then are used to perform high-resolution beam scans of near- infrared diode lasers and optical waveguides.
