Local fluorescent probes based on 50–100nm thick layers of LiF:F 2 deposited onto the apex of apertured fiber probe of scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) have been prepared and tested. Excellent topographical images with the spatial resolution of a few nanometers and bright near-field optical images with the spatial resolution of about 100nm (aperture size) were obtained. Experimental evidences of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) between F 2 color centers and a few dyes (rhodamine 700, HITCI, DDI) are presented and perspectives for the use of these probes in FRET SNOM are discussed.
