Abstract: The spatial structure of light fields in a metallized cone filled with a medium with complex dielectric function was studied on the basis of the exact solution of the eigenwave problem. It is suggested that silicon can be used as a core of optical probe in the visible spectral region. It is shown that the density of light energy at the output of optical probe can be drastically increased if silicon is used instead of glass fiber.
