<p>The present invention resolves a fundamental problem in near-field optics by overcoming the limitation inherent in the low signal that is associated with near-field optics through amplification of the signal (1.9) that has passed through a near-field optical aperture (2.1) or has been generated by a near-field optical aperture (2.1) using an optical amplifier (2.3) in a standard mode of operation or by noiseless optical amplification using phase sensitive fiber amplifiers or other types of amplification that reduce noise.</p> |
