It is commonly believed that:
• The PSTM and the illumination mode SNOM are fundamentally dif-
ferent instruments
• The coherence of the illumination in the collection mode SNOM influ-
ences the resolution [OL 18, 2090 (1993)]

Partially coherent illumination
• Γ12(τ) = 〈ψ(P1, t+ τ)ψ(P2, t)〉 - mutual coherence function.
• J12 = Γ12(0) - mutual intensity.
These quantities involve averages over an ensemble of realizations.
Employing Hopkin’s formula, we can write the incident mutual intensity
Jp,s(x1, x3;x′1, x
′3|ω)inc =
∫σ
dkΨp,s(x1, x3|k|ω)incΨ∗p,s(x
′1, x
′3|k|ω)inc ,
where
Ψp,s(x1, x3|k|ω)inc =√I(k)eikx1−iα0(k,ω)x3 ,
For (x1, x3) = (x′1, x′3), we obtain the incident intensity
Ip,s(x1, x3)inc =
∫σ
dk |Ψp,s(x1, x3|k|ω)inc|2 =
∫σ
dk I(k) .

The total and scattered intensities
The total field in the region x3 > ζ(x1)max, is
Ψp,s(x1, x3|k|ω)tot =√I(k)eikx1−iα0(k,ω)x3 + Ψp,s(x1, x3|k|ω)sc ,
The total intensity can be written in the form
Ip,s(x1, x3)tot = Ip,s(x1, x3)inc + Ip,s(x1, x3)sc +
+
∫σ
dk 2<e{Ψp,s(x1, x3|k|ω)incΨ∗p,s(x1, x3|k|ω)sc} ,
where we have defined
Ip,s(x1, x3)sc =
∫σ
dk |Ψp,s(x1, x3|k|ω)sc|2 ,
and
Ip,s(x1, x3)tot =
∫σ
dk |Ψp,s(x1, x3|k|ω)tot|2 .

Fs(u, x3)sc is strongly peaked at u = 0 for small values of x3.
Thus,
Is(x1, x3)sc ' Is + ζ(x1)
∫ ∞
−∞duFs(u, x3)sc,
It can be shown, however, that the integral vanishes.
Returning to the convolution integral, we then expand ζ(x1 − u) in powers
of u, and integrate term-by-term, the first nonzero term yields
Is(x1, x3)sc ' Is +1
2ζ ′′(x1)
∫ ∞
−∞duu2F (u, x3)sc.
So, the scattered intensity at constant height will resemble more closely
the second derivative of the surface profile, rather than the profile itself.
The claim that Is(x1, x3)sc as a function of x1 for a fixed value of x3 follows
the surface profile function ζ(x1) is not generally valid.

The total near field intensity for the double Gaussian groove as a function
of the kind of illumination.

For small values of x3, the impulse response function is a sharply peaked
function of x1 and we can write
I(x1, x3)tot ' I(x3)tot + ζ(x1)
∫ ∞
−∞duF (u, x3)tot − ζ ′(x1)
∫ ∞
−∞duuF (u, x3)tot +

It can be easily verified that:
• the term proportional to ζ ′(x1) vanishes for symmetrical illumination
modes.
• the term proportional to ζ ′′(x1) provides a small correction.
It follows that we can estimate the surface profile from the equation
ζ(x1) 'I(x1, x3)tot − I(x3)tot∫ ∞

Conclusions
• Equivalence between PSTM and SNOM.
• The resolution is not affected by the coherence of the illumination.
• The image (and resolution) deteriorates as one moves away from the
surface.
• The scattered intensity does not resembles the profile [ζ ′′(x1)].
• The total intensity does resemble the profile.
