Abstract

A theory to decompose the propagating waves and the evanescent field in the optical dipole radiation is applied to analyze the reflection near-field optical microscopy. It is theoretically and numerically demonstrated that a local field vertically polarized toward the sample surface at the very end of the probe will provide a longer evanescent field tail into the gap between the probe and the sample and, hence, will improve the imaging quality of the microscope.
