Abstract
Luminescent imaging films () for fluorescent enhancement and methods of making and using the same are provided. The films () include a flexible carrier layer (, and a pattern of photonic structure () disposed on the flexible carrier layer, which is interspersed with an anti-biofouling material () to provide a pattern of analyte sites (). The pattern of photonic structure includes a patterned high-refractive-index dielectric material surface () so as to provide resonance at the excitation or emission wavelength to enhance a fluorescence signal from labeled analytes.
