Optical Raman signals contain a wealth of information about the physical and chemical properties of many different substances. In this work, we demonstrate our home-built Nano-Raman microscope (NRM) and special optical fiber probes. The NRM comprises a standard microscope as optical detection system and a scanning near-field optical (SNOM) head. It is intended for investigations of nano-structured materials for novel industrial applications. The probe acts as a nanoscale light source and locally illuminates the sample. In each examined point of the sample, light scattered from the surface is collected through the microscopes objective lens and sent to an optical detector, e.g. spectrometer. The smaller the light source is, the higher is the resolution. To achieve a small spot size and high light intensities at the same time, we use sharp optical fiber tips prepared from a special optical fiber. The fiber has a refractive index profile allowing better polarization control, especially for circular light distributions. These modes of the optical field allow for a higher efficiency of the fiber probe. We will present recent results on the fabrication of suitable fiber tips.
