Polarization-sensitive techniques, such as ellipsometry, are of essential value when investigating optically anisotropic (low-dimensional) materials. Yet, polarization is often neglected in scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM) and spectroscopy. In a first attempt towards quantitative nano-ellipsometry, we demonstrate here the phonon-enhanced resonant near-field excitation when using both p- and s-polarized incident photons. Notably, we find their near-field responses to be on the same order of magnitude [1]. We apply this s-SNOM mimic for inspecting a broad set of crystalline perovskite materials, i.e. BiFeO3, PbZrTiO3, SrTiO3, and LiNbO3. Their phonon resonances are easily excited by our setup, making use here of the broad tunability range of the free-electron laser FELBE at Dresden-Rossendorf, Germany [1,2]. Hence, we are able to resonantly excite specific phonons, i.e. a single type of vibronic bonding within the crystal in our s-SNOM setup [2].
