Two probe models are presented,which satisfy the conditions of high optical resolution together with high transmission efficiency.A two-step method to fabricate the two kinds of probes is proposed.First,an optical fiber probe with the transitional taper in hyperbolic or parabolic shape is produced by heating-pulling method in a simple home-made device,followed by a rapid chemical etching in 40% buffered hydrofluoric acid to sharpen the tips,keeping the shape and conic angle unchanged.The tips diameters are in the range of 20～200 nm,and the taper angle 20°～60°.To demonstrate the performance of high transmission efficiency of the tips,their spot distributions are compared with conventional taffy-pulled probes.The evanescent wave decay curve in PSTM mode and the scanning near-field image of holographic grating are given by use of transmission SNOM working in collection mode.In addition,an approach curve of shear force is shown to verify its applicability to tip-sample distance regulation based on the shear-force principle.
