| Abstract | Nanoaperture optical tweezers are emerging as useful tools for the detection and identification of biological molecules and their interactions at the single molecule level. Nanoaperture optical tweezers provide a low-cost, scalable, straight-forward, high-speed platform for single molecule studies without the need to use tethers or labeling. This thesis gives a general description of conventional optical tweezers and how they are limited in terms of their capability to trapping biological molecules. It also looks at nanoaperture-based optical tweezers which have been suggested to overcome the limitations of conventional optical tweezers. The thesis then focuses on the double nanohole optical tweezer as a tool for trapping biological molecules and studying their behaviour and interactions with other molecules. The double |
