Abstract

Abstract We describe the development of a combined confocal and scanning near‐field Raman microscope for operation at deep UV wavelengths. This instrument is based upon a commercially available Raman microscope and enables far‐field and near‐field Raman spectra to be acquired from the same location on a sample. The application of the confocal and scanning near‐field microscopes was demonstrated by studies of CVD diamond films. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
