Abstract

Highly sensitive detection techniques have drawn tremendous interest because this method allows the precise tracking of molecular interactions and the observation of dynamics on a nanometric scale. Intracellular and extracellular processes can be measured at the molecular level; thus, highly sensitive techniques advance our understanding of biomolecular events in cellular and subcellular conditions and have been applied to many areas such as cellular and molecular analysis and ex vivo and in vivo observations.

In this chapter, we review near-field based biosensors that rely on extraordinary optical transmission (EOT) and some application techniques that have emerged recently based on the localization of a surface plasmon. Also, we refer to the fabrication methods for making various nanostructures: first, focused ion beam that employs the high-energy ions to create high-precision nanopatterns. Second, electron-beam lithography that capitalizes on highly focused electron beam to draw submicron size patterns on the metallic surfaces. Third, nanoimprint lithography suitable for massive nanostructure fabrications. Finally, photolithography feasible for the cost-effective fabrication. At the end of this chapter, we introduce some applications based on EOT for enhancement of sensitivity and techniques which assist high-resolution imaging.
