Raman spectroscopy in conjunction with near-field scanning optical mic
roscopy is used to image Rb-doped KTiOPO4 within a spectral feature wi
th high spatial resolution. We present Raman spectra as well as the fi
rst Raman images obtained in the near field. Differences between near-
field and far-field Raman measurements are discovered and discussed. (
