Science - Physics / Optics
English term or phrase: optical modi
An initial selective modification of the metal surface at sub- wavelength spatial resolution can be carried out using various techniques, including the use of atomic force microscopy (AFM). A platinum-coated AFM tip can be used to catalyse hydrogenation of terminal azides to amino groups that are amenable to further derivatisation. The enzymes can then be placed into "hot spots" where high local fields exist in regions where *optical modes* are localised.

Sind das "optische Modi", oder gibt es da noch einen anderen Ausdruck?

Vielen Dank im Voraus, ich hoffe das war's dann für heute mit diesem sehr speziellen Text!

Explanation:
Ich habe den Zusammenhang Deines Texts nicht im Einzelnen verfolgt, aber m. E. ist in der Wellenlehre von "Moden", nicht "Modi" die Rede.

sorry, ganz so einfach ist es nicht, aber energie wird in der regel in "wellen" übertragen, auch die farben haben untersch. "wellenlängen" werden entprechend untersch. absorbiert etc etc..... das hat zwar mit den Enzymen nichts zu tun, aber die brauchen wohl für ihre Bestimmung ne bestimmte optische Welle(nlänge)
