Radiative decay engineering 5: metal-enhanced fluorescence and plasmon emission.
Metallic particles and surfaces display diverse and complex optical properties. Examples include the intense colors of noble metal colloids, surface plasmon resonance absorption by thin metal films, and quenching of excited fluorophores near the metal surfaces. Recently, the interactions of fluorophores with metallic particles and surfaces (metals) have been used to obtain increased fluorescenc...
متن کاملMulticolor directional surface plasmon-coupled chemiluminescence.
In reports over the past several years, we have demonstrated the efficient collection of optically excited fluorophore emission by its coupling to surface plasmons on thin metallic films, where the coupled luminescence was highly directional and polarized. This phenomenon is referred to as surface plasmon-coupled emission (SPCE). In this current study, we have extended this technique to include...
متن کاملRadiative Decay Engineering
Metallic surfaces can have unusual effects on fluorophores such as increasing or decreasing the rates of radiative decay and the rates of resonance energy transfer (RET). In the present article we describe the effects of metallic silver island films on the emission spectra, lifetimes, and energy transfer for several fluorophores. The fluorophores are not covalently coupled to the silver islands...
متن کاملTime-resolved surface plasmon polariton coupled exciton and biexciton emission.
We discuss the coupling between optically excited semiconductor nanocrystals (NC) and thin metal films in both the single and multi-exciton regime. Using time-resolved photoluminescence spectroscopy, we determine the decay dynamics of free space and surface plasmon polariton (SPP) coupled emission. The two dynamics are found to be distinctly different at very small NC-metal separations and at p...
متن کاملApplication of surface plasmon coupled emission to study of muscle.
Muscle contraction results from interactions between actin and myosin cross-bridges. Dynamics of this interaction may be quite different in contracting muscle than in vitro because of the molecular crowding. In addition, each cross-bridge of contracting muscle is in a different stage of its mechanochemical cycle, and so temporal measurements are time averages. To avoid complications related to ...
