| Abstract | A new approach to signal amplification in fluorescence-based assays for sensitive detection of molecular analytes is reported. It relies on a sensor chip carrying a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) composed of two piled up segments which are designed to increase simultaneously the excitation rate and the collection efficiency of fluorescence light. The top segment supports Bloch surface waves (BSWs) at the excitation wavelength and the bottom segment serves as a Bragg mirror for the emission wavelength of used fluorophore labels. The enhancement of the excitation rate on the sensor surface is achieved through the resonant coupling to BSWs that is associated with strong increase of the field intensity. The increasing of collection efficiency of fluorescence light emitted from the sensor surface is pursued by using the Bragg mirror that minimizes its leakage into a substrate and provides its beaming toward a detector. In order to exploit the whole evanescent field of BSW, extended three-dimensional hydrogel-based binding matrix that is functionalized with catcher molecules is attached to 1DPC for capturing of target analyte from a sample. Simulations supported by experiments are presented to illustrate the design and determined the performance characteristics of BSW-enhanced fluorescence spectroscopy. A model immunoassay experiment demonstrates that the reported approach enables increasing signal to noise ratio, resulting in about one order of magnitude improved limit of detection (LOD) with respect to regular total internal reflection fluorescence (TIRF) configuration. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
