Zero-mode waveguide
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. It is also known as a waveguide below-cutoff attenuator.[1] 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).[2]
