Plasmonic nanorod arrays for enhancement of single-molecule detection.

ABSTRACT: We fabricated silver nanorod arrays producing enhanced fluorescence and evaluated the photophysical behaviors of single probes immobilized on nanorods. The observation of bright emission indicated that a highly enhanced field was created near the nanorod. A considerable enhancement in fluorescence of up to a factor of two orders of magnitude was observed as compared to the emission on the controlled substrate.
