In this Rapid Communication, we report the first observation of Metal-Enhanced singlet oxygen generation (ME(1)O(2)). Rose Bengal in close proximity to Silver Island Films (SiFs) can generate more singlet oxygen, a three-fold increase observed, as compared to an identical glass control sample but containing no silver. The enhanced absorption of the photo-sensitizer, due to coupling to silver surface plasmons, facilitates enhanced singlet oxygen generation. The singlet oxygen yield can potentially be adjusted by modifying the choice of MEF (Metal-Enhanced Fluorescence) & MEP (Metal Enhance Phosphorescence) parameters, such as distance dependence for plasmon coupling and wavelength emission of the coupling fluorophore. This is a most helpful observation in understanding the interactions between plasmons and lumophores, and this approach may well be of significance for singlet oxygen based clinical therapy.

D005453 Fluorescence The property of emitting radiation while being irradiated. The radiation emitted is usually of longer wavelength than that incident or absorbed, e.g., a substance can be irradiated with invisible radiation and emit visible light. X-ray fluorescence is used in diagnosis.
D005456 Fluorescent Dyes Chemicals that emit light after excitation by light. The wave length of the emitted light is usually longer than that of the incident light. Fluorochromes are substances that cause fluorescence in other substances, i.e., dyes used to mark or label other compounds with fluorescent tags.

D012834 Silver An element with the atomic symbol Ag, atomic number 47, and atomic weight 107.87. It is a soft metal that is used medically in surgical instruments, dental prostheses, and alloys. Long-continued use of silver salts can lead to a form of poisoning known as ARGYRIA.
D020349 Surface Plasmon Resonance A biosensing technique in which biomolecules capable of binding to specific analytes or ligands are first immobilized on one side of a metallic film. Light is then focused on the opposite side of the film to excite the surface plasmons, that is, the oscillations of free electrons propagating along the film's surface. The refractive index of light reflecting off this surface is measured. When the immobilized biomolecules are bound by their ligands, an alteration in surface plasmons on the opposite side of the film is created which is directly proportional to the change in bound, or adsorbed, mass. Binding is measured by changes in the refractive index. The technique is used to study biomolecular interactions, such as antigen-antibody binding.
