Nanoplasmonics: Reaching out to the Single Molecule

                                 Reuven Gordon
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
University of Victoria, Canada

Abstract:  Arthur Ashkin was co-recipient of the Nobel prize in 2018 for his work on optical tweezers; however, those conventional optical tweezers are limited to objects that are >100 nm in size. This talk will review our work on nanoaperture optical tweezers that can trap particles down to the single digit nanometer size, including proteins. I will describe how to measure the low frequency Raman modes of these particles (including proteins and DNA fragments) with high spectral resolution, as well as the THz dynamics of nanoparticles. I will emphasize recent developments in nanofabrication and some exciting biophysical problems we are studying.
