Original Abstract

A theoretical non-global model for calculating the images obtained in scanning tunneling optical microscopy is proposed. In a short range of distances, below the dimension of wavelength, photon interactions with matter generate complex field distributions which are referred to as Near field. In this particular situation of short distances the vectorial 3-D nature of the light cannot be reduced to a scalar description. We show that resolution is determined by the tip-sample distance. We also stress that for a small sample period a strong signal is obtained only in TM polarization.
