Abstract
In this paper, we report the observation of surface plasmon virtual probes in water by using near-field scanning optical microscope. The full-width half-maximum of the probe is as small as λ0/5.5. Such deep-subwavelength sized plasmonic virtual probe may lead to many potential applications, such as super-resolution fluorescence optical imaging and optical manipulation.
