Porous gold nanosponges, percolated with a three-dimensional network of 10 nm sized ligaments, recently emerged as promising substrates for plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest surface plasmon localization in small hot-spots. To probe the existence of such hot-spots, we have first used scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy with homodyne detection of the scattered signal from individual nanosponges to reveal such strong spatially and spectrally confined modes. By recording local near-field scattering spectra, high quality factors of 40 for individual hot-spots are demonstrated. More recently, we combined this method with plasmonic nanofocusing, where surface plasmon polaritons propagate along the shaft of a conical gold taper and form an isolated nano light source. This removes unwanted background since hot-spot modes are locally excited just by the nano-localized tip dipole field, resulting in a highly improved signal-to-noise-ratio and a simplified image interpretation. This advanced technique is used to investigate the coupling behaviour between such hot-spot modes and small quantum emitters, which were deposited inside the pores of a nanosponge.
