Abstract

Amplification of light from reporter fluorophores is a promising strategy to further increase the sensitivity of fluorescence based biosensing. One such enhancement system is metal induced fluorescence enhancement (MIFE). The enhanced fluorescence intensity due to the presence of metal nanostructures makes it possible to detect much lower levers of proteins tagged with fluorescence molecules. This paper reports work undertaken on the emission enhancement possible from triangular elements in the bow-tie configuration. The results show that emission enhancement is possible over a long distance (~ 50 nm).
