In this paper, output near fields of nanowires with different optical and structure configurations are calculated by using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain (3D FDTD) method. Then a nanowire with suitable near field distribution is chosen as the probe for scanning dielectric and metal nanogratings. Scanning results show that the resolution in near-field imaging of dielectric nanogratings can be as low as 80nm, and the imaging results are greatly influenced by the polarization direction of the incident light. Compared with dielectric nanogratings, metal nanogratings have significantly enhanced resolutions when the arrangement of gratings is perpendicular to the polarization direction of the incident light due to the enhancement effect of the localized surface plasmons (SPs). Results presented here could offer valuable references for practical applications in near-field imaging with nanowires as optical probes.

The paper presents the results of three-dimensional modeling of the fault structure in the central part of the Chuya depression in Gornyi Altai within the Mukhor-Tarkhata plot. On this site, from 2004 to the present, researchers of the IPGG SB RAS have been conducting regular annual observations by the method of nearfield time-domain electromagnetic sounding (TSB) to observe the process of restoration of the geological environment after the catastrophic Chuya earthquake with a magnitude of 7.3 in 2003. One of the aftereffects of the destructive earthquake is fracture zones expressed on the surface. Numerous deformations of the surface and industrial objects are observed in the area of the Mukhor-Tarkhata village. The fault zone with sub-vertical fracturing, identified at the site by geological and electromagnetic data, was activated after the earthquake. Detailed data on the geoelectric structure are required for the interpretation and analysis of monitoring data. Based on the interpretation of the near-field time-domain electromagnetic sounding data, the deep structure of the fault zone was obtained. To verify and clarify structural features of the geoelectric model, three-dimensional modeling was performed.
