This work describes progress in near-field optical science and technology. The title implies capabilities of optical near-field not only for imaging/microscopy but also for fabrication/manipulation/processing on a nanometric scale. The authors introduce the differences between near-field optics and far-field optics from both experimental and theoretical perspectives. The work touches on a wide range of topics in near-field optics, and can be used both by the novice and experienced researcher already familiar with the subject, to connect the experimental with the theoretical aspects of...

Sizes of electronic and photonic devices are decreasing drastically in order to increase the degree of integration for large-capacity and ultrahigh- speed signal transmission and information processing. This miniaturization must be rapidly progressed from now onward. For this progress, the sizes of materials for composing these devices will be also decreased to several nanometers. If such a nanometer-sized material is combined with the photons and/or some other fields, it can exhibit specific characters, which are considerably different from those ofbulky macroscopic systems. This combined...

Near-?eld optical recording is a promising way to realize a recording density 2 of over 1 Tb/in . In this chapter, we focused on the near-?eld optical head, which is a key device for near-?eld optical recording. First, we explained the technical issues regarding the near-?eld optical head and introduced some solutions to these issues. We focused on a highly e?cient near-?eld optical head that uses a wedge-shaped metallic plate, and described its optical pr- erties based on a simulation using a ?nite-di?erence time-domain method. The simulation results con?rmed that a strong optical near ?eld...
