Abstract
Dielectric multilayers can be designed and fabricated to reach large optical field enhancement when working under total internal reflection. In an objective based total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRF-M), we propose to use the resulting large field enhancement supported in such resonant coverslip to improve TIRF-M sensitivity by amplifying the collected fluorescence signal. Scattering effects due to roughness of the substrate may parasite the optical response of our designed multilayer-based component. We present here the numerical model of the roughness impact over the multilayer optical response.
