Abstract

Zero-mode waveguides for single molecule analysis and fast DNA sequencing were presented. Arrays of zero-mode waveguides which consisted of subwavelengths holes in thin metal films on fused silica coverslips were manufactured using electron-beam lithography. A finite-element model of intensity distribution within such waveguides was used to predict the effective observation volume in the waveguides. The effectiveness of zero-mode waveguides was demonstrated by real-time observation of single molecules of DNA polymerase immobilized inside waveguides.
