抄録

We present a method of fabricating a near-field optical probe with a nickel film whose thickness gradually decreases to a few tens of nanometers toward the apex. This method involves etching an optical fiber and electroless nickel plating with ultrasonic agitation. Using 1 MHz ceramic transducers, we have reproducibly fabricated the probe with a tip diameter of less than 40 nm. This reproducibility is high compared to those for Langevin-type transducers.
