Abstract

A localized heating source based on a microwave near-field microscopic applicator was described. The applicator was based on a cylindrical metal-coated dielectric resonator with a narrow slot in the apex. The operating frequency of the microwave applicator was determined by the dielectric constant of the resonator, which could be any low-loss, high-epsilon material. The use of the applicator in local heating, coagulation and melting of soft-matter mediums was discussed.
