摘要

Nanopore-based sensing is an attractive candidate for developing single-molecule DNA sequencing technology. Recently, optical detection with a parallel nanopore array has been demonstrated. Although this method is a promising approach to develop high thorough-put measurement, the approach requires observation at low-background condition. In this paper, we propose a new optical method for nanopore DNA sequencing with high resolution and a high signal-to-noise ratio. We use ultraviolet light for the excitation of a fluorescent probe and a nanopore in a silicon membrane. Because silicon has a large refractive index and an extinction coefficient at ultraviolet wavelengths, light transmission thorough the membrane is negligible. This contributes to low background measurement of fluorescence from fluorophore-labeled DNA strands. In addition, the z-polarization component of the electric field is attributed to generating a large electric field gradient at the nanopore exit due to its boundary condition at the silicon surface. Our numerical electromagnetic simulation revealed that the z-component electric field was dominant compared to the x-component electric filed. The intensity of the electric field increased steeply in 2 nm, when ultraviolet light of 375nm wavelength was focused on a 10nm-thick silicon membrane with a 7 nm-diameter nanopore. This steeply increasing electric field can be sufficient resolution for the sequencing of designed DNA polymer. Finally, our experimental results demonstrated optical detection of single DNA translocation events with a high signal-to-noise ratio under applied voltage.
