Transient Optoplasmonic Detection of Single Proteins on the Nanosecond Time Scale — •Martin D. Baaske1,2, Nasrin Asgari1, Deep Punj1, and Michel Orrit11Leiden University, Leiden, Netherlands — 2Johannes Gutenberg-University, Mainz, Germany

Label-free optical detection schemes commonly rely on specific chemical interactions between receptor and target molecule in order to facilitate analyte recognition. Here I present our first steps on a novel pathway to fingerprint proteins via analysis of their motion, i.e., physical properties such as stokes radius and polarizability rather than chemical interactions. We show that via a polarization selective technique and careful optimization of a confocal microscope single gold nanorods, which are commonly used as labels, can be transformed into high-speed nanoscale sensors. We perform photothermal spectroscopy on single gold nanorods and use it as a means to probe their sensitivity to refractive index changes with respect to the experimental parameters * in turn allowing us to optimize the later on a rod-to-rod basis. This enables the detection single protein molecules traversing plasmonic near fields with previously time resolutions on the nanosecond scale.
