Abstract
The critical role of near-field optics in the characterization of waveguides, optical interconnects, electro-optical switches, lasers and their integrated emulations were discussed. With the advancement of new technologies, optical devices depends on characterizing, high resolution, the distribution of light in the near-field at the output of the devices. It is also necessary to relate microdistributions and nanodistribution of light to exact topography and exact spatial distribution of electrical and thermal properties of the devices.
