Abstract
Photo-induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) offers a promising alternative to traditional scanning near-field optical microscopy for subwavelength imaging. PiFM's key advantage is its fully mechanical detection through the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) cantilever, simplifying the setup by eliminating the need for optical detectors and complex interferometric techniques. However, PiFM typically requires laser modulation at the AFM cantilever's intrinsic frequency, which can be challenging in the visible and near-infrared ranges, often involving Acousto-Optic Modulators (AOMs) that introduce a wavelength-dependent laser steering. Our innovative setup eliminates the need for realignment, making PiFM a valuable tool for near-field spectroscopy in the visible and near-infrared spectral ranges.
