Single-molecule Detection in Nanogap- embedded Plasmonic Gratings
We introduce nanogap-embedded silver plasmonic gratings for single-molecule (SM) visualization using an epifluorescence microscope. This silver plasmonic plat‐ form was fabricated by a cost-effective nano-imprint lithography technique, using an HD DVD template. DNA/ RNA duplex molecules tagged with Cy3/Cy5 fluorophores were immobilized on SiO2-capped silver gratings. Light was coupled to the gr...
متن کاملPlasmonic band structure controls single-molecule fluorescence.
Plasmonics and photonic crystals are two complementary approaches to tailor single-emitter fluorescence, using strong local field enhancements near metals on one hand and spatially extended photonic band structure effects on the other hand. Here, we explore the emergence of spontaneous emission control by finite-sized hexagonal arrays of nanoapertures milled in gold film. We demonstrate that al...
متن کاملOptical rectification and field enhancement in a plasmonic nanogap.
Metal nanostructures act as powerful optical antennas because collective modes of the electron fluid in the metal are excited when light strikes the surface of the nanostructure. These excitations, known as plasmons, can have evanescent electromagnetic fields that are orders of magnitude larger than the incident electromagnetic field. The largest field enhancements often occur in nanogaps betwe...
متن کاملSingular phase nano-optics in plasmonic metamaterials for label-free single-molecule detection.
The non-trivial behaviour of phase is crucial for many important physical phenomena, such as, for example, the Aharonov-Bohm effect and the Berry phase. By manipulating the phase of light one can create 'twisted' photons, vortex knots and dislocations which has led to the emergence of the field of singular optics relying on abrupt phase changes. Here we demonstrate the feasibility of singular v...
متن کاملBrewster angle for plasmonic gratings
In this paper, we analyze the transmission properties of metallic gratings at optical frequencies. In particular, we show that an inherently ultra-broadband tunneling mechanism may be obtained based on impedance matching between the guided modes supported by ultranarrow slits and freespace TM plane waves impinging at an oblique angle. This phenomenon is the analogous of the well-known Brewster ...
