Original Abstract

The relevance of scanning near-field scanning optical microscopy (SNOM) for optical characterization of semiconductors with quantum dots is presented. The SNOM technique and some of its properties appropriate to real-time in-situ measurements are evaluated. Several optical characterization methods - widely used in the far-field, including reflectance, reflectance-difference spectroscopy, and carrier lifetime, are estimated for their use with SNOM. Experimental data are included for some of these methods. Numerous standard optical characterization methods can be coupled with SNOM to provide higher spatial resolution. The applicability of SNOM as a real-time in-situ probe shares some of the problems of other local probe methods, but offers enough new capabilities to assure its application.
