pubmed-article:15540809 | pubmed:abstractText | This article summarizes the near-field optical technique applied for investigating the characteristics of polymer fiber and waveguide structures. The near-field optical technique is used to analyze multimode interference structures of fiber. The localized fluctuation of the transmission caused by fractal cluster is carried out in Nd3+- and Eu3+-doped polymer fiber and film by means of a scanning near-field optical microscopy. The near-field optical spectrum of Nd3+-doped polymer fiber is investigated. The topography and near-field intensity images of Azo-polymer liquid crystal film for waveguide are obtained simultaneously. | lld:pubmed |
