Journal ArticleDOI
Large single-molecule fluorescence enhancements produced by a bowtie nanoantenna
TL;DR: In this paper, a 1,340-fold increase in single-molecule fluorescence was observed from a gold bowtie nano-antenna, caused by enhanced absorption and an increased radiative emission rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
On/off blinking and switching behaviour of single molecules of green fluorescent protein
TL;DR: A study of the photophysical behaviour of single molecules of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) derived from the jellyfish Aequorea victoria suggests the possibility of using these GFPs as fluorescent markers for time-dependent cell processes, and as molecular photonic switches or optical storage elements, addressable on the single-molecule level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical detection and spectroscopy of single molecules in a solid
W. E. Moerner,Lothar Kador +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the optical absorption spectrum of single dopant molecules of pentacene in a p-terphenyl host crystal at liquid-helium temperatures was observed using two different double-modulation techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the Mismatch between Light and Nanoscale Objects with Gold Bowtie Nanoantennas
TL;DR: Using two-photon-excited photoluminescence of Au, the local intensity enhancement factor relative to that for the incident diffraction-limited beam has been experimentally determined for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Illuminating single molecules in condensed matter.
W. E. Moerner,Michel Orrit +1 more
TL;DR: Efficient collection and detection of fluorescence coupled with careful minimization of background from impurities and Raman scattering now enable routine optical microscopy and study of single molecules in complex condensed matter environments.
