text: 'Light is a union of electric and magnetic fields, and nowhere is the complex
relationship between these fields more evident than in the near fields of nanophotonic
structures. There, complicated electric and magnetic fields varying over subwavelength
scales are generally present, which results in photonic phenomena such as extraordinary
optical momentum, superchiral fields, and a complex spatial evolution of optical
singularities. An understanding of such phenomena requires nanoscale measurements
of the complete optical field vector. Although the sensitivity of near- field
scanning optical microscopy to the complete electromagnetic field was recently
demonstrated, a separation of different components required a priori knowledge
of the sample. Here, we introduce a robust algorithm that can disentangle all
six electric and magnetic field components from a single near-field measurement
without any numerical modeling of the structure. As examples, we unravel the fields
of two prototypical nanophotonic structures: a photonic crystal waveguide and
a plasmonic nanowire. These results pave the way for new studies of complex photonic
phenomena at the nanoscale and for the design of structures that optimize their
optical behavior.'
