Fluorescence enhancement from single DNA molecules confined in SiO 2 nanochannels
Paper i proceeding, 2010

We demonstrate that the detected emission intensity from YOYO-labeled DNA molecules confined in 180 nm deep Si/SiO2 nanofunnels changes significantly and not monotonically with the width of the funnel, an emission enhancement that is only detected for emitted light polarized parallel to the channel. We explain the enhancement effect as being due to optical phenomena in the channels. The enhancement effect may be of importance for quantitative fluorescence microscopy and for experiments with a tight photon budget.
