ZMW метод

Метод волновода нулевой моды.

В биофизике, волновод нулевой моды - оптический волновод, который работает со световой энергией в объеме, который меньше по всем направлениям по сравнению с длиной волны света.

Волноводы нулевой моды были разработаны для быстрого параллельного зондирования зептолитровых объемов проб, применяемые для секвенирования генов в Nanofluidics, Inc (ныне Гражданские биологические науки) [1].

Волновод работает на частотах ниже его предельной частоты (длины волн больше, чем длина волны отсечки) и используется как прецизионный аттенюатор также известный как запредельный волноводный аттенюатор [2]

Zero-mode waveguide

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In biophysics, a zero-mode waveguide is an optical waveguide that guides light energy into a volume that is small in all dimensions compared to the wavelength of the light.

Zero-mode waveguides have been developed for rapid parallel sensing of zeptolitre sample volumes, as applied to gene sequencing, by Nanofluidics, Inc. (now Pacific Biosciences).[1]

A waveguide operated at frequencies lower than its cutoff frequency (wavelengths longer than its cutoff wavelength) and used as a precision attenuator is also known as a "waveguide below-cutoff attenuator."[2]

ABSTRACT

A semitutorial review of the history, development, and application of waveguide below-cutoff (WBCO) attenuation standards is presented. A brief summary of the electromagnetic (EM) theory is followed by descriptions of the various designs implemented over a span of 60 years. Designs range from simplistic to elaborate electromechanical creations that stretch the toolmaker's art yet are ultimately dependent upon the primary standard of length
