Arrays of plasmonic nanocavities with very low volumes, down to λ(3)/1000, have been fabricated by soft UV nanoimprint lithography. Nearly perfect omnidirectional absorption (3-70°) is demonstrated for the fundamental mode cavity (λ ≃ 1.15 μm).

We report on the systematic investigation of electropreconcentration phenomena in hybrid micro/nanofluidic devices.
