Nanoplasmonics

Gordon博士是Nanoplasmonics的加拿大研究主席，Nanoplasmonics是一个通过在纳米尺度上雕刻金属来结合纳米技术和光的领域。该计划旨在与工业合作伙伴合作，成功创新超灵敏和高功能的生物传感器。这些传感器将基于纳米光学镊子和增强型拉曼方法，这些方法在CRC的第一个学期具有很高的学术影响。其影响将是为更好的药物发现和早期发现癌症提供解决方案。该计划的研究还针对新的突破性方法，以克服传统的衍射限制，应用于纳米纤维工业的亚波长光刻，纳米/显微镜工业的亚波长成像，以及非线性光学和增强光谱学应用的极端光-物质相互作用。

Dr. Gordon is the Canada Research Chair in Nanoplasmonics, which is a field that combines nanotechnology and light by sculpting metals at the nanometer scale. This program aims to successfully innovate ultra-sensitive and highly-functional biosensors, in collaboration with industrial partners. These sensors will be based on nano-optical tweezers and enhanced Raman approaches that were of high academic impact in the first term of the CRC. The impact will be in providing solutions for better drug discovery and earlier detection of cancers. The program research is also targeting new ground-breaking approaches to overcome conventional limits of diffraction, with applications to subwavelength lithography for the nanofabrication industry, subwavelength imaging for the nano/microscopy industry, and extreme light-matter interactions for applications in nonlinear optics and enhanced spectroscopy.
