The FRET among CFP and YFP is significantly enhanced by NPG, and also the maximum enhancement is associated to both ligament size of NPG along with the distance involving NPG and proteins. With the optimized distance, 18-fold FRET enhancement was obtained on NPG in comparison to that on glass, as well as the conversion efficiency is about 90 . The possible to tune the characteristic energy transfer distance has implications for applications in nanophotonic devices and delivers a attainable strategy to design sensors and light energy converters.Citation: Cui, L.; Zhang, L.; Zeng, H.

Introduction Fluorescence resonance power transfer (FRET) can be a non-radiative energy transfer process based on dipole interaction [1], and it has attracted a great attention as a consequence of its application in detecting low concentrated analytes in chemical and biological systems [4]. However, the limitation from the signal amplification of acceptor from donor and comparatively low energy conversion efficiency affect the application of FRET in ultra-sensitive detection [9]. Plasmonic enhancement which resulting from longer range non-radiative energ.
