Abstract

We characterized the longitudinal field formed at a tightly focused spot by a high numerical aperture objective lens using a tip-enhanced near-field microscope. The longitudinal field efficiently excites the localized surface plasmon polaritons at the metallic tip apex resulting in an electric field enhancement. Radially polarized light generated by a combination of four half-waveplates successfully increases the longitudinal field resulting in higher sensitivity for tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy of adenine nanocrystals. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.
