Theory of Metal-Fluorophore Interactions

  • Chapter
Reviews in Fluorescence 2006

Part of the book series: Reviews in Fluorescence ((RFLU,volume 2006))

Abstract

This chapter is mainly a review of research done by the author, concerning theory of surface plasmon resonance interaction with fluorophores. Surface plasmon coupled emission (SPCE) is studied theoretically and compared to experiment. Surface plasmon resonance optical field enhancement is investigated at elongated particles by solving the Maxwell’s equations with the use of spheroidal vector wave functions. Finally, the theoretical possibility of trapping fluorophores by optical gradient forces at surface plasmon enhanced hot spots is examined.
