Biophotonics applications of nanometric apertures

Nanometric apertures in a metallic film are easy to produce, robust and highly reproducible nanophotonic devices that possess a number of desirable properties for biophotonics. In this review, we will describe the exciting applications of sub-wavelength apertures towards the sensitive and specific characterisation of molecules.
