Wavelet analysis of near-field data and the resolution problem*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 1999
Abstract
In Near-Field Optical microscopy, the resolution isdirectly related to the experimental conditions of illuminationand separation between tip and sample. In general, there is nowell-defined linear transfer function of the measurement system.The local resolution can be described by the signal-to-noiseratio, by the separation of individual objects or in terms of datashape sharpness. In this paper we use wavelet analysis todetermine local resolution. We deduce the resolution from thecharacteristics of the wavelet and with the help of the localenergy in the decomposition.
