Direct detection of single molecules by optical absorption
- Abstract:
-
The advent of single molecule optics has had a profound impact in fields ranging from biophysics to material science, photophysics, and quantum optics. However, all existing room-temperature single molecule methods have been based on fluorescence detection of highly efficient emitters. Here we demonstrate that standard, modulation-free measurements known from conventional absorption spectrometers can indeed detect single molecules. We report on quantitative measurements of the absorption cros...
