Nowadays, propagation of light in such materials is a rich and fascinating area of research, both for its fundamental implications and for its practical technological impact. To deeply investigate light propagation inside these structures a high spatial resolution technique is required, especially because intriguing effects often occur on length scales comparable with the diffraction-limit or involve coupling phenomena on this length scale. For this reason in this thesis a Scanning Near-Field Optical Microscope represents one the most straightforward tool both to study and locally modify complex photonic nano-structures from perfect periodic to completely random ones. 410 0$aPremio Firenze University Press tesi di dottorato (Series) 606 $aNonlinear optics 606 $aPhotonic crystals 615 0$aNonlinear optics. 615 0$aPhotonic crystals. 676 $a535.2 700 $aVignolini$b Silvia$01261782 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571744503321 996 $aSub-wavelength probing and modification of complex photonic structures$92941528 997 $aUNINA
