A theoretical investigation of environmental monitoring using surface plasmon resonance waveguide sensors

Review of surface plasmon resonance and localized surface plasmon resonance sensor

“…Since the first application of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon for gas detection and biologic sensor in 1982 [1], the SPR sensing technology has been widely used for the detection of biological and chemical analytes, environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics [2][3][4][5] in the past two decades.…”

Singular perturbation theory of a thin film surface-polariton polarizer for a planar optical waveguide

“…[12][13][14] Recently, there is renewed interest in further development of the surface polariton resonance sensor. 15 In Fig. 6, a comparison is made between the analysis presented in this paper and that of an earlier, numerical method.…”

“…Part of the results reported in this article were presented by Mark A. Sletten as a Postdeadline paper in the 1989 Annual Meeting of the Optical Society of America held in Orlando, Florida from October [15][16][17][18][19][20]1989. The research of Mark A. Sletten was supported in part by the North American Rockwell International Corporation under the Graduate Fellowship Program.…”

Optical waveguide biosensor based on modal interference between surface plasmon modes

“…Spectral tuning of such sensors can be achieved by selecting the intermediate dielectric layer appropriately. Weiss et al [15] have reported that the resonance wavelength of SPR sensor can be changed from 545 nm to 700 nm by introducing an intermediate layer (TiO 2 ) of thickness 80 nm. Ctyroky et al [16] have reported that a thin layer of Ta 2 O 5 (10-40 nm) can tune the resonance wavelength in the range 600-900 nm.…”
