| 摘要 |
<p>The invention features systems and methods for near-field, interferometric microscopy in which one or more phase retardation plates are positioned in the measurement and/or reference arms to reduce the contribution to the interference signal of background sources including, e.g., a beam component scattered from a near-field aperture used to couple a probe beam to a sample. The systems may operate in either reflective or transmissive modes.</p> |
