Nano Antennas

By utilizing the strongly induced plasmon coupling between discrete nano-antennas and quantitatively controlling the crystalline proportions of an underlying Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST) phase-change thin layer, we show that nanoscale light localizations in the immediate proximity of plasmonic nano-antennas can be spatially positioned. Isolated energy hot-spots at a subwavelength scale can be created and adjusted across the landscape of the plasmonic system at a step resolution of λ/20. These findings introduce a new approach for nano-circuitry, bio-assay addressing and imaging applications.

Heterogeneous Ensemble

The ability to observe the fluorescence arising from single molecules has revolutionized our ability to study the structure and dynamics of materials on a microscopic level and to probe the properties of individual members of a heterogeneous ensemble. A variety of near-field and far-field excitation techniques have been employed to study single molecules. Multiphoton excitation (MPE) techniques have a number of advantages that make them particularly attractive for singlemolecule detection. First, because the excitation and fluorescence wavelengths are significantly different from one another, Rayleigh and Raman scattering can easily be filtered out, leading to a low number of background counts. Second, because the probability for MPE depends on the excitation intensity to the second or higher power, the excitation is localized to the point in space where the excitation beam is most tightly focussed, thus providing three-dimensional resolution.
