Abstract
Techniques and devices based on configurational effects of at least one pair of parts with one nano-scale part in a nano-scale configuration to produce a resonance-enhanced optical response when subject to a small change in a relative geometrical configuration of the two parts. The resonance may be achieved by either a plasmon resonance or a quantum-confined resonance.
