Forum Abstract

Plasmonics, optical study of metallic nanostructures and their application, has emerged as a rapidly growing field due to the advances in our nano-fabrication and modeling capabilities. By localizing light to the sub-wavelength volumes and dramatically enhancing local fields, plasmonics is enabling myriad of exciting possibilities in biosensing field. Hatice Altug will describe an ultra-sensitive vibrational spectroscopy metho. By engineering diffractive couplings in plasmonic nano-antenna arrays, she will show direct detection of absorption signals from single protein monolayers with zepto-mole sensitivity. She will also discuss a new sensor scheme in which plasmonics and nanofluidics are merged on a single platform to overcome mass transport limitation and to increase time responses of surface sensors.
