Optical device for surface-generated fluorescence
First Claim
1. A sample substrate adapted for use with electromagnetic excitation light, comprising a base and a layer system, the layer system comprising a multilayer interference coating with at least two layers wherein the thicknesses of the layers ensure that light emitted by a fluorescent sample material disposed on top of said multilayer interference coating is reflected.

Abstract
A sample substrate adapted for use with electromagnetic excitation light includes a base and a layer system. The layer system includes a multilayer interference coating with at least two layers wherein the thicknesses of the layers ensure that light emitted by a fluorescent sample material disposed on top of said multilayer interference coating is reflected. Light directed to a fluorescent sample material disposed on the substrate causes light to be emitted from the sample. The layer system includes a multilayer interference coating with at least two layers wherein thicknesses of the layers cause separation of the excitation light from the emitted light.

29. A method of manufacturing a sample substrate adapted to obtain electromagnetic emission from a sample disposed on the substrate when the sample is excited by a light comprising the steps of:
-
selecting at least two layers of a reflecting multilayer interference coating;
determining thicknesses of the layers to cause separation of the excitation light from the emitted light; and
depositing the layers on a base. - View Dependent Claims (30)
