The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of metal nanoparticles depends directly on the geometry and the dielectric constant of the nanoobject. The resonance is influenced by the electron density which can be modified by acoustic oscillations of the nanostructure. The optical near-field thus contains information on the structure’s acoustic oscillation.
The combination of apertureless scanning near-field optical microscopy (aSNOM) and ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy allows to detect the temporal and spatial dependence of the LSPR. We present our implementation of a pump-probe aSNOM which at the end will allow us to map out nanoscale Chladni figures. We show numerical simulation of the field changes caused by local plasma frequency changes, nanoacoustical modes as well as first experimental results.
