Near-field maps for the 1\u03c90 and 6\u03c90 with both (a) 830\u2009nm and (b) 633\u2009nm wavelengths as well as polarizations ranging from \u221290\u00b0 deg (perp, TE) to 0\u00b0 (para TM) to\u2009+90\u00b0 (perp, TE). All maps are 400\u2009nm \u00d7 400\u2009nm. The intensity maxima from all maps were extracted and plotted against the expected cos2(\u03b8) intensity decay curve for both (c) 830\u2009nm light and (d) 633\u2009nm light. The full data set ranged from \u2212100\u00b0 to 100\u00b0 in increments of 10\u00b0 and covered six harmonics for both wavelengths. The AFM color scale ranges from \u22123.8 to\u2009+1.6\u2009nm, and the map is 400\u2009nm \u00d7 400\u2009nm.
