Photonic metamaterial surfaces for digital resolution biosensor microscopies using enhanced absorption, scattering, and emission

Newly demonstrated advanced biosensor imaging technologies utilize the unique electromagnetic capabilities of photonic metamaterials to enhance the interaction between light and biological matter. The resulting capabilities address gaps in existing technologies for biomolecular analysis that rely upon enzymatic and chemical amplification, costly instrumentation, and complex assay protocols. Through amplification of the excitation/extraction efficiency of light emitting tags, absorption efficiency of nanoparticle tags, and scattering efficiency of biological analytes, technology platforms have been demonstrated that are capable of ultrasensitive, digital-resolution, room temperature, isothermal, rapid, and highly quantitative biomolecular analysis.
