Summary form only given. Recently, atom manipulation by using optical near fields has been attracting a lot of interests. Optical near field can be localized in a nanometric region, being free from the diffraction limit in contrast to propagation light. The intensity distribution of optical near field decays rapidly as an exponential-like function. Because such a spatially inhomogeneous light field...
Summary form only given. Recent experimental studies have revealed distinct characteristics of optical near fields. Highly localized optical near fields could be applied to not only a high-resolution microscope beyond the diffraction limit of light but also fabrication of nanometric devices. From this point of view, a theory, which quantitatively deals with interactions between a nanometric probe...
