Extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) is a term that refers to electromagnetic resonances
through sets of subwavelength apertures in either a flat or a corrugated metal film, providing …

Single‐molecule approaches to biology offer a powerful new vision to elucidate the
mechanisms that underpin the functioning of living cells. However, conventional optical …

This consistent and systematic review of recent advances in optical antenna theory and
practice brings together leading experts in the fields of electrical engineering, nano-optics …

Nanopore sensors embedded within thin dielectric membranes have been gaining
significant interest due to their single molecule sensitivity and compatibility of detecting a …

We demonstrate the capability of DNA self-assembled optical antennas to direct the
emission of an individual fluorophore, which is free to rotate. DNA origami is used to …

Scintillation materials convert high-energy radiation to optical light through a complex
multistage process. The last stage of the process is spontaneous light emission, which …

In this work, we demonstrate a novel structure that can generate extraordinary optical
transmission with a silicon hemisphere placed on a conventional bull's eye structure. There …

Plasmonic nanoapertures have found exciting applications in optical sensing, spectroscopy,
imaging, and nanomanipulation. The subdiffraction optical field localization, reduced …

The effect of gold and aluminum zero-mode waveguides (ZMWs) on the brightness of
immobilized single emitters was characterized by probing fluorophores that absorb in the …

Multi-dimensional metallic nanostructures were fabricated by self-assembling silver
nanoparticles on 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane-modified glass substrate and using p …
