Journal ArticleDOI
Scanning near-field optical microscopy with aperture probes: Fundamentals and applications
Bert Hecht,Beate Sick,Urs P. Wild,Volker Deckert,Renato Zenobi,Olivier J. F. Martin,Dieter W. Pohl +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the fundamentals of scanning near-field optical microscopy with aperture probes, including instrumentation and probe fabrication, aspects of light propagation in metal-coated, tapered optical fibers, and field distributions in the vicinity of subwavelength apertures.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-quality near-field optical probes by tube etching
Raoul M. Stöckle,Christian Fokas,Volker Deckert,Renato Zenobi,Beate Sick,Bert Hecht,Urs P. Wild +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a tube etching method for the fabrication of near field optical probes is presented, where tip formation occurs inside a cylindrical cavity formed by the polymer coating of an optical fiber which is not stripped away prior to etching in hydrofluoric acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Single-molecule spectroscopy
TL;DR: A review of single-molecule spectroscopy in solids can be found in this paper, where the emphasis is on physical results and their interpretation, followed by a general introduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonclassical photon statistics in single-molecule fluorescence at room temperature
TL;DR: In this article, the fluorescence of single terrylene molecules in a crystalline host was investigated at room temperature by scanning confocal optical microscopy, and the arrival times of photons were analyzed in terms of interphoton time distributions, second order correlation functions, and variance of the photon number probability distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabricating arrays of single protein molecules on glass using microcontact printing
Jean Philippe Renault,André Bernard,Alexander Bietsch,Bruno Michel,Hans Rudolf Bosshard,Emmanuel Delamarche,Maximilian Kreiter,Bert Hecht,Urs P. Wild +8 more
TL;DR: This work shows how to create patterns of proteins having a lengthscale lower than 100 nm using high-resolution microcontact printing, a versatile method to prepare surfaces for diagnostic applications.
