Optical Microscopy with nanoscale spatial resolution is an essential technique for the characterization and investigation of individual nanoobjects. We use the field enhancement in the proximity of a laser-illuminated sharp metal tip to locally probe the optical response of single-walled carbon nanotubes. In particular we image their Raman scattering and photoluminescence properties with a spatial resolution of down to 10nm [1]. We can thereby directly observe the interaction of excitons with localized defects and the local environment of the nanotube, namely DNA-wrapping [2]. Inter-nanotube energy transfer was studied for different pairs of semiconducting nanotubes forming bundles and crossings, related to electromagnetic near-field coupling [3]. We also report on our recent experimental results on electrically contacted nanotubes and the photoluminescence of nanotubes on metal surfaces.
