Abstract
Second-harmonic generation (SHG) in a near-field optical-fiber probe was observed. The tip of the probe consists of a triple-tapered fiber with an aluminum coating. For a fiber probe with an aperture size of 100 nm, the SHG conversion factor was , which is as large as that of a 5-mm KDP crystal. In a probe-to-probe experiment, we demonstrated that SHG took place at the aluminum coating on the fiber probe.
