- We propose a novel method by chemical etching using hydrofluoric (HF) acid and a buffered HF solution (BHF) to fabricate a pencil-shaped fiber probe for near-field optics. We succeeded in producing such probes with high reproducibility using a dispersion-compensating fiber having the high GeO/sub 2/ doped core. The method involves tapering of the cladding, then sharpening of the core. The fabricated probe has a conical tip with a cone angle of 20/spl deg/ and an apex diameter of less than 10 nm.
