Abstract :
Plasmonics have the potential to enhance the performance of detectors. A thermal metal dewetting process was developed which can be easily scaled for high throughput production. Through this process, plasmonic nanostructures were fabricated providing broadband plasmon resonance tunable over a 1000 nm wavelength range. The plasmonic media and their integration into fluorescence-based sensors will be described.
