This study introduces an enhanced optical heterodyne surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor using a Zeeman laser. The novel method significantly improves detection sensitivity and dynamic range for biomolecular interactions.

Area of Science:

  • Biophotonics
  • Biosensing Technology
  • Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR)

Background:

  • Surface-plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors are crucial for label-free biomolecular detection.
  • Existing SPR methods face limitations in sensitivity and dynamic range.
  • Optical heterodyne techniques offer potential for signal enhancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel optical heterodyne SPR biosensor utilizing a Zeeman laser.
  • To enhance detection sensitivity and dynamic range compared to conventional SPR.
  • To demonstrate the biosensor's capability in real-time kinetic analysis of biomolecular interactions.

Main Methods:

  • Excitation of two surface plasma waves using correlated p-polarized waves in a Kretschmann configuration SPR device.
