Four-wave mixing at plasmonic tip-sample nanojunctions may be used to visualize plasmonic fields with sub-2nm spatial resolution under ambient laboratory conditions. We illustrate the latter using a gold-coated atomic force microscopy probe irradiated with a pair of near-IR femtosecond laser pulses and used to interrogate plasmonic gold nanoplates and silver nanocubes. Through diagnostic polarization-dependent tip-only measurements, we illustrate that the 4-wave mixing signal is localized to the tip apex. The apex-bound signal is further enhanced when the tip is located near plasmonic nanoparticles. Overall, this work paves the way for visualizing coherent electronic and vibrational dynamics with joint femtosecond temporal and few-nanometer spatial resolution under ambient conditions.
