Optical Biosensing Using Localized Surface Plasmon.

The Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technique was used as a sensitive optical sensor as well as characterizing materials. To achieve these, two computer programs were developed to.

I am submitting herewith a thesis written by Charles Wei-Shing Chin entitled “Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance with the use of Silver and Titanium Oxide Nanostructures.” I have examined the final electronic copy of this thesis for form and content and recommend that it be accepted in.

Narrow plasmon resonances in hybrid systems. UoM administered thesis: Phd. Authors: Philip Thomas; Abstract. Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of free electrons excited at a metal-dielectric interface by incident light. They possess a broad set of interesting properties including a high degree of tunability, the generation of strong field enhancements close to the metal's surface.

This Thesis presents the conception, design, implementation and verification of a fully functional biosensor based on Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technology. As shown in Figure 1, the biosensor consists of a Texas Instruments SpreetaTM Surface Plasmon Resonance device (1), interfaced to a Motorola Accompli 009TM Wireless GSM.

Science Scholarship (NSS-PhD). Abstract Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors have attracted great attention in scientific research in the past three decades. Extensive studies on the immobilisation of biorecognition elements have been conducted in pursuit of higher sensitivity, but trialled formats have focussed on a thin layer modification next to the plasmon film, which usually.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors have attracted great attention in scientific research in the past three decades. Extensive studies on the immobilisation of biorecognition elements have been conducted in pursuit of higher sensitivity, but trialled formats have focussed on a thin layer modification next to the plasmon film, which usually requires in situ derivatization.

The effect of the thermal bump on the resonance of surface plasmon is also investigated and a polarization-dependent reflection phase shift for the probe beam is observed in SPR by adjusting the thermal effect for different pumping polarization. As both amplitude and phase can be measured, our method could lead to better characterization of SPR.

Surface Plasmon Resonance. The surface plasmon can be excited by the evanescent wave and this phenomenon is called surface plasmon resonance (SPR). When this happens, the intensity of the reflected light decreases sharply. The decays of the excited surface plasmon include energy conversion to phonons or photons.

On the other hand, Finite Element Method (FEM) is found to be a valuable tool in the numerical solutions of the proposed biosensor structure throughout this thesis. Beside of simulation, the experiment is implemented through the Biacore device which is based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technique. According to the experimental results.

This review discusses the basic theory and operational arrangements of four commercially available types of optical biosensors: surface plasmon resonance, resonant mirror, resonance waveguide grating, and dual polarization interferometry. The different applications these techniques offer are discussed from experiments and results reported in.
