Near Field Optics -- Science of the "Invisible Light" — •Wolfgang Dieter Pohl — Felsenhofstr.10, CH8134 Adliswil --- Laureate of the Stern-Gerlach-Medal

Near Field Optics (NFO) helps to understand the interaction of individual nano-structures with optical fields. Scanning NFO microscopes and the optical antenna are two popular examples. A typical feature of NFO is a bright region of sub-wavelength size which does (nearly) not radiate. The existence of such regions is shown indirectly by effects such as fluorescence or nonlinear phenomena.
