Different harmonics of the optical amplitude signal collected from the Si-reference sample at the nano-spectroscopy endstation: the red/top trace, blue/middle trace and green/bottom trace correspond to the signal's second, third and fourth harmonic, respectively. The spectral resolution of the spectra is about 8 cm−1 and the acquisition time was about 15 min. The AFM probe oscillation frequency is 250 kHz and the tapping amplitude is 75 nm. The high resonant frequency of the AFM probe and the high-frequency cut-off of the ADC at about 1 MHz do not allow the fifth harmonic of the signal to be registered. |
