金膜修饰探针的近场光学教学实验研究

Experimental Design of Near Field Signal Enhancement based on Metal Coating

  • 摘要: 近场信号,如表面等离激元共振(SPR)产生的局域场强,在光学、传感和纳米技术等领域具有重要应用。在近场成像过程中,优良的探针能获得较真实的样品形貌图形和较高的信噪比,减少无关的背景光学信息。通过合理设计和应用金属涂层,显著提升近场光学信号获取能力,并改善探针信噪比。基于探针涂层的影响,设计了“金属涂层增强近场信号”研究型实验。通过在金字塔硅探针尖端蒸镀金属涂层,并采用改造的散射式近场光学显微镜,对标准光栅进行了近场光学成像,探究了探针尖端蒸镀金属涂层对散射近场光学信号的影响。实验结果表明,金属涂层能显著提高近场光学信号。本研究旨在揭示金属涂层对近场信号的增强规律,为光学传感和纳米光子学领域的研究提供新的视角和实验基础。

     

    Abstract: Near-field signals, such as the localized field strength generated by surface plasmon resonance (SPR), are extensively applied in optics, sensing, and nanotechnology. In the process of near-field imaging, a high-quality probe is used to acquire more accurate sample topography, a higher signal-to-noise ratio, and suppressed background optical information. These signals can be significantly enhanced through the rational design and application of metal coatings. Thus, both signal acquisition capability and probe detection performance are enhanced. In this paper, the transformation of near-field optical microscope and the study of probe coating are included in the research experiment, and the research-oriented experiment on near-field signal enhancement based on metal coating is designed. This experiment is based on the purchased VIT_P type pyramid silicon probe, which is steamed and plated on the tip of the needle, and the modified s-SNOM is used to conduct near-field optical imaging of the standard grating. The effect of gold-plated coating on scattering near-field optical signal is investigated. The experimental results show that the near-field optical signal can be greatly improved by the gold-plated coating on the tip of the needle. This study aims to reveal the enhancement rules of metal coatings on near-field signals and provide new perspectives and experimental foundations for research in the fields of optical sensing and nanophotonics.
