TY - JOUR AU - Veiko, Vadim P. AB - Basic principles of laser assisted process of fiber etching for scanning near-field optical (SNO) probes formation and control technique are presented. The thermal and temporal regimes are considered in order to provide stable reproducibility and high quality of a tapered end of the optical fiber. Problems of adequate definition of the scanning imaging properties of a SNO probe are discussed. Thus an optical method of far-field registration and processing together with a new autoelectric emission method are considered for solution of the task of a subwavelength SNO probe aperture measurement and estimation of its apparatus function.
