Near-field Raman spectroscopy with high spatial resolution is used to study single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) within dense samples. A sharp, laser-irradiated metal tip acts as a near-field excitation source causing an enhanced Raman signal within close proximity of the tip. We present optical images of different Raman modes with a spatial resolution better than 15 nm. Local spectroscopy allows us to identify and distinguish tubes with different structures on the nanometer-scale and to observe variations within the spectrum of individual tubes.

Bundles of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) prepared by plasma torch method and further purified, are deposited over a glass coverslip to estimate the spatial resolution of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy measurements. For this purpose, near-field Raman maps and spectra of isolated bundles of carbon nanotubes are collected using optimized experimental conditions such as a tightly focused beam using a 1.4 numerical aperture oil immersion microscope objective and a gold coated atomic force microscope probe illuminated by a radially polarized 632.8 nm wavelength to selectively excite the localized surface plasmon confined at the extremity of the tip. The near-field nature of the collected Raman signals is evaluated through measuring the decay of the Raman signal with respect to the tip-sample separation.
