Surface Plasmon Based Substrate for Enhanced Fluorescence Live Cell Imaging

1 Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, 2 Institute for Genomic Biology, 3 Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, University of Illinois, Urbana –Champaign, IL, 61801 USA ABSTRACT We have created a randomly distributed nanocone substrate on silicon and coated with silver for surface-plasmonenhanced fluorescence detection and cell imaging. We observed three dimensional fluorescenc...

Investigation of localized surface plasmon/grating-coupled surface plasmon enhanced photocurrent in TiO2 thin films.

We fabricated plasmonic gold nanoparticle (AuNP)-TiO2 nanocomposite films and measured the photocurrent that originates from the water-splitting reaction catalyzed by the AuNP-TiO2 nanocomposite photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) electrode. The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the gold nanoparticles affected the generation of photocurrent by TiO2 upon illumination with visible light. Elec...

Light-emitting diodes enhanced by localized surface plasmon resonance

Light-emitting diodes [LEDs] are of particular interest recently as their performance is approaching fluorescent/incandescent tubes. Moreover, their energy-saving property is attracting many researchers because of the huge energy crisis we are facing. Among all methods intending to enhance the efficiency and intensity of a conventional LED, localized surface plasmon resonance is a promising way...

Imaging of Surfaces by Concurrent Surface Plasmon Resonance and Surface Plasmon Resonance-Enhanced Fluorescence

Surface plasmon resonance imaging and surface plasmon induced fluorescent are sensitive tools for surface analysis. However, existing instruments in this area have provided limited capability for concurrent detection, and may be large and expensive. We demonstrate a highly cost-effective system capable of concurrent surface plasmon resonance microscopy (SPRM) and surface plasmon resonance-enhan...
