    摘要: The invention discloses a luminescence sensor (101) for bio-sensing having an input reflector (253) and an output reflector (254). The gap (S) between the input and output reflectors constitutes an optical cavity. One or both of the input and output reflectors can be a wire-grid (270) having apertures (211,212), where at least one dimension of the apertures is below the diffraction limit. When input radiation (221) impinges the input reflector a fraction of the input radiation is transmitted into the cavity. The energy of the radiation inside the cavity is increased due to the resonance properties of the cavity. Due to the increase of the cavity excitation energy, the luminescent radiation emitted from the luminescent particles inside the cavity can be detected outside the cavity. Since the input and output reflectors have high reflection coefficients the input radiation is effectively prohibited from being transmitted through the luminescence detector. In addition, luminescence generated in the cavity is significantly higher than luminescence generated outside the cavity.

    摘要: A luminescence sensor, comprising a non-transparent substrate structure (2) having at least one aperture (5) intended to comprise an analyte and a transparent substrate structure (3), which is arranged to or adjacent said first structure (2). The aperture has a smallest lateral dimension, which is smaller than half the effective wavelength of an excitation radiation, such as light at a wavelength of 700 nm, resulting in an effective wavelength in water of about 538 nm. The transparent structure has a trench (4) with a surface portion provided with ligands with an affinity towards a target molecule. The trench results in that a luminophore attached to the target molecule will be positioned at the entrance surface of the aperture, where the excitation energy is largest.
