摘要
We present first results of near-field imaging with ultrashort, broadband far-infrared pulses. By focusing the radiation into a tapered metal tip with a small er;it aperture and scanning a sample in the near field of this aperture, sub-wavelength spatial resolution better than lambda/4 is demonstrated.
