We present a scheme to retrieve the initial spectrum of probe molecules in the near field. This is achieved by replacing conventional glass substrates with a hybrid mode photonics chip to create rich and persistent mode distributions and by observing the far-field scattering pattern. The manner of coupling from near field to far field is confirmed by the calculated dependence of the c... https://missouriquiltcoes.shop/product-category/quilt-as-you-go-technique/
