In the first part of this manuscript, we use in our advantage the concept of optical nano-antennas, toget new solutions on the interpretation problems of scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM)images. Indeed, it is known that some of the developed nano-antennas can express dipolarbehaviours. In this manuscript, we show how a bowtie nano-aperture (dipolar nano-antenna)embedded at the apex of a SNOM probe, can be used to detect and collect only one component ofthe electric near-field. This result is demonstrated as well theoretically, by the use of FDTD (FiniteDifference Time Domain) codes, as experimentally, by the characterisation with this tip, of dielectricsamples (diffraction grating and photonic crystals) and metallic ones (random...
