Abstract:
A near-field scanning probe includes: a measurement probe that relatively scans a test sample; an excitation light irradiation system; a near-field light generation system that generates near-field light in a region including the measurement probe in response to irradiation with excitation light from the excitation light irradiation system; and a scattered light detection system that detects Rayleigh scattering and Ramen scattered light of the near-field light from the sample, generated between the measurement probe and the sample, and the near-field scanning probe is characterized in that the near-field light generation system includes a cantilever with a chip coated with a noble metal, and a tip of the chip is provided with a thin wire group including a plurality of carbon nanowires with a noble metal provided at ends thereof.

Claim (Index 7):
The near-field scanning probe microscope according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the thin wire group comprises a main carbon nanowire for measurement, the main carbon nanowire for use in closest to the sample to determine a measurement resolution, and near the main carbon nanowire, a plurality of auxiliary carbon nanowires is disposed in a predetermined arrangement to act as an antenna, the auxiliary carbon nanowires are provided to have ends located at a first distance from the chip, the main carbon nanowire is provided to have an end located at a second distance that is equal to or longer than the first distance from the chip, and the ends of the auxiliary carbon nanowires are provided to have a centrosymmetry with respect to the end of the main carbon nanowire, and the near-field light generation system irradiates the tip of the chip with the excitation light, thereby generating electric field concentration on the noble metal at the ends of the carbon nanowires, and thus generating the near-field light
