Using of inelastic electron tunnelling is very promising approach to study of subwavelength photons and plasmons sources. Such sources are very important for improving of on-chip data processing. One of the ways for development of efficient and compact optical electrically-driven sources is using of nanoantenna placed into the tunnel junction. In this work, singe optical nanoantenna was investigated under ultra-high vacuum and ambient conditions. Photon maps of nanoantenna excited under scanning tunnel microscope tip was observed and the obtained results was compared with the theoretical predictions of electromagnetic near-field distribution.
