We present an overview of recent progress in plasmonics. We focus our studyon the observation and excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) withoptical near-field microscopy. We discuss in particular recent applications ofphoton scanning tunnelling microscope (PSTM) for imaging of SPP propagating inmetal and dielectric wave guides. We show how near-field scanning opticalmicroscopy (NSOM) can be used to optically and actively address remotelynano-objects such as quantum dots. Additionally we compare results obtainedwith near-field microscopy to those obtained with other optical far-fieldmethods of analysis such as leakage radiation microscopy (LRM).
