Nano Optical and Thermal SPM

 
 
The MultiView 4000TM System simplifies the task of optically and thermally profiling on-line an optoelectronic device. Seen in these images (above) are the optical distribution of light in a quantum wire laser (NSOM) and the thermal distribution around the laser. The image below includes the p contact region in the thermal image. As can be seen, the thermal and light distribution bear no correlation to one another, but rather the thermal distribution is bowed towards the p contact where electrical charge is injected.

 

 

AFM Thermo Resistive Nanonics Probe

 

 In the Dual Wire Thermo-Resistance probe, two platinum wires are stretched through the nanopipette and fused together at their tips. This fused junction has a resistance that is temperature-dependent. This unique tip allows simultaneous measurement of surface topography and thermal conductivity
