Laser field enhancement at the scanning tunneling microscope junction measured by optical rectification

In this letter we report the measurement of the field enhancement at the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope, by means of the detection of the optical rectification current. A field enhancement factor between 1000 and 2000 is obtained for highly oriented pyrolytic graphite and between 300 and 600...
