This study introduces a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor structure. The new design offers enhanced performance and lower cost for SPR biosensing applications.

Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics
  • Nanotechnology
  • Biosensing

Background:

  • Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is a label-free optical technique widely used for detecting biomolecular interactions.
  • Conventional SPR sensors often require expensive light sources and complex configurations.
  • Improving the sensitivity, resolution, and cost-effectiveness of SPR sensors remains a key challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel SPR sensor structure that enhances SPR features.
  • To enable the use of low-cost light sources for SPR sensing.
  • To improve sensor cost and miniaturization potential without compromising performance.

Main Methods:

  • A new SPR sensor structure supporting a symmetric bound surface plasmon was designed and analyzed.

  • The optical properties of the SPR feature were compared to conventional configurations.
  • Sensor performance metrics, including sensitivity and resolution, were evaluated.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed SPR structure resulted in an SPR feature narrower by a factor of 2 compared to conventional configurations.
    • The design allows for the use of low-cost, low-power Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) as polychromatic light sources.
    • Sensor cost and miniaturization potential were significantly improved.
    • The developed sensor demonstrated comparable sensitivity and improved resolution over conventional SPR sensors.

    Conclusions:

    • The novel SPR sensor structure offers significant advantages in terms of cost, size, and performance.
    • This advancement paves the way for more accessible and portable SPR sensing devices.
    • The symmetric bound surface plasmon configuration is a promising approach for next-generation SPR sensors.
