The possibilities for both, index monitoring and lateral resolution at nanoscale level are explored, with special attention paid to the shape of the probe and the profile of the near field underneath.}, publisher = {Optical Society of America}, publisher = {Optics Express, Vol. 16, Issue 17, pp. 12872-12879 (2008)}, title = {Surface inspection by monitoring spectral shifts of localized plasmon resonances}, author = {Albella Echave, Pablo and Moreno Gracia, Fernando and Saiz Vega, José María and González Fernández, Francisco}, }
