Abstract
A structured substrate includes a substrate body having an active side. The substrate body includes reaction cavities that open along the active side and interstitial regions that separate the reaction cavities. The structured substrate includes an ensemble amplifier positioned within each of the reaction cavities. The ensemble amplifier includes a plurality of nanostructures configured to at least one of amplify electromagnetic energy that propagates into the corresponding reaction cavity or amplify electromagnetic energy that is generated within the corresponding reaction cavity.
