A scanning probe microscope and method of operating the microscope uses a resonant material between a metallic probe tip and a surface of a sample with at least one material having a dielectric constant &#x3b5;. When electromagnetic radiation from a light source is transmitted to an interface between the metallic probe tip and the sample, absorption of the electromagnetic radiation by the resonant sensor material that is dependent on the dielectric constant of the at least one material of the sample is detected.

The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a black phosphorus thin film and a black phosphorus thin film thereof and, more particularly, to a method of fabricating a black phosphorus ultrathin film by forming the black phosphorous ultrathin film in a chamber by active oxygen and removing accompanying black phosphorus oxide film water. The black phosphorus ultrathin film has a surface that does not substantially have defects and is uniform in a large area, and has a surface roughness property of 1 nm or less, to represent a high application property to an optoelectronic device and a field effect transistor.

Disclosed is a spectrally encoded coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) endoscope that is capable of spatially encoding spectral dispersions of two light sources having frequency difference as much as a Raman shift and overlapping two laser beams on a position where a sample to be measured is placed, thereby acquiring a spatial distribution of CARS signals.

The present invention relates to a 3-color multiplex CARS spectrometer. In the 3-color multiplex CARS spectrometer, Raman resonance is achieved for multiple molecular vibrations of a sample by the combination of a short-wavelength pump beam generated by a broadband laser light source and a long-wavelength Stokes beam generated by a stable laser light source, and another short-wavelength laser beam having a narrow linewidth is then introduced separately to serve as a probe beam that interacts with the laser-driven sample, thereby generating CARS spectral signals whose wavelength components can be resolved. Accordingly, the 3-color multiplex CARS spectrometer solves problem of the conventional 2-color multiplex CARS spectroscopy in which the wavelength decomposition of CARS signals, necessary for high spectral resolution, is not possible with broadband pump light causing the CARS spectrum distortion.

Disclosed is an imaging apparatus for IR four-wave mixing polarization microscopy. The apparatus can include pump and probe beam sources, a polarizer, a beam combiner, a scanner, an optical focusing system, a collecting optical system, a dichroic beam splitter, a polarizing beam splitter, a photodetector, a polarization differential detector, and a data analyzer. The technology can be used to obtain a molecular vibrational microscopic image using a polarization-dependent nonlinear spectroscopic signal obtained through the focusing and spatial scanning of multi-wavelength laser beams in a sample.
