Metal nanoapertures by nanoimprint to enhance single molecule fluorescence detection

Objective

After two decades of parallel developments in single molecule fluorescence techniques and nanophotonics, these two fields remain largely disconnected today. The aim of the PrintNano4Fluo project is to bridge this gap and bring nanophotonics tools to the end users single molecule microscopists. Our objective is to develop a new cost-effective and scalable nanofabrication approach of nanophotonic devices to enhance single molecule fluorescence detection. The PrintNano4Fluo solution offers a unique set of advantages: it is low-cost, fast, scalable and safe while still providing a high optical performance of the final. Bringing nanophotonics tools to the end users single molecule microscopists is a major element of novelty to break into the physical limits set by diffraction where no other alternative exists today.
