In TD optical imaging, short pulses of light, driven by pulsed laser diodes, are sent to illuminate the specimen under study; where a fluorescent probe is excited and time-of-flight distribution is determined, enabling the uncoupling of depth and concentr

FOCUS - Single Molecule Activation and Computing

FOCUS, will build a novel generation of biologically inspired molecular devices (MDs) based on the developments of new photonic tools. These photonic tools will use Plasmon Polariton technology, enabling focused light spots with a diam. 10 nm.

SMD - Single or few molecules detection by combined enhanced spectroscopies

The SingleMoleculeDetection (SMD) proposal will integrate on the same device an atomic force microscope (AFM) or an optical tweezer (OT), with Raman/SERS/IR/TeraHertz microscopy so to perform simultaneously - and in a dynamic way - force and spectroscopic measurements.

  

Atomic Force Microscopes

Atomic force microscopy (AFM)  is a very high-resolution type of scanning probe microscopy, with demonstrated resolution on the order of fractions of a nanometer, more than 1000 times better than the optical diffraction limit.
