Nanoscale investigation of silk proteins using near-field optics
… range of applications from biomedical devices, optics, electronics, to transient implants. Understanding the mechanisms that underpin the β-sheet formation and deformation as well as the formulation of strategies to control inter- and intramolecular bonds within silk protein matrices is …

Aufbau eines magnetooptischen Rasternahfeldmikroskops im Reflexionsmodus und Test an periodischen Mikrostrukturen und magnetooptischen Speichermedien
Construction of a magneto-optic scanning near-field microscope in reflection mode and test on periodic microstructures and magneto-optic storage media. The scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) enhances the diffraction-limited resolution of a conventional microscope. In this work a …

The Stochastic Dynamics of Optomechanical Sensors for Atomic Force Microscopy
… sensors for AFM are unique because they use near field optics to transduce the position of a nanobeam. The nanobeam is not able to be transduced by more conventional AFM techniques, such as laser interferometry, because the nanobeam is smaller than the spot size of the laser. This work …

Polarimetry Of Random Fields
… and spectral scales which are small enough, all fields are fully polarized. In the optical regime, however, instantaneous fields can rarely be examined, and, instead, only average quantities are accessible. The study of polarimetry is concerned with both the description of electromagnetic fields …

Spatial correlations and partial polarization in electromagnetic optical fields : effects of evanescent waves
… properties of electromagnetic optical fields are investigated. The emphasis is on near fields which exist only within the distance of the light wavelength from the emitting or scattering object. In the near-field region, the contribution of the evanescent (non-radiating) waves is …

Coherence Properties Of Optical Near-fields
… In this dissertation, concepts specific to near-field optics and experimental capabilities specific to near-field microscopy are used to investigate various aspects of the statistical properties of random electromagnetic fields in the vicinity of optically inhomogeneous media which emit or …
