In the second part of this presentation, I will show that the same concepts in mode matching can lead to ultrasensitive detection, microscopy and tracking of biological nanoparticles such as viruses [7] and proteins [8]. In particular, I will discuss our new results in label-free single protein sensing and diffusion in lipid bilayers [9]. If time permits, I will also discuss strategies for the optimization of the interaction between photons and optical emitters via dielectric antennas [10, 11], plasmonic nanoantennas [12] and microresonators [13].
