Abstract

Near-field optical signals are imaged in the vicinity of nano-holes using two different near-field optical microscopes. The experimental results are compared with electromagnetic field calculations based on a modal approximation. It turns out that an optical fibre detects the Poynting vector whereas the apertureless tip is sensitive to the field amplitude.
