Abstract
Localization of optical excitations on nanostructured metal
surfaces and fractal colloid silver aggregates are studied by
using a scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM). The SNOM
images obtained in both configurations exhibit spatially localized
(within 150 to 250 nm) light intensity enhancement by up to two
orders of magnitude. The observed phenomena are related to strong
(Anderson) localization of quasi-two-dimensional light waves.
