This study introduces a novel coupled waveguide-surface plasmon resonance (CWSPR) biosensor. This advanced biosensor enhances biomolecular interaction analysis with improved precision and simplified setup.

Area of Science:

  • Optoelectronics
  • Nanophotonics
  • Biosensing

Background:

  • Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is a label-free optical technique for detecting biomolecular interactions.
  • Conventional SPR methods, like the Kretschmann configuration, have limitations including sensitivity to incident angle and complex setups.
  • There is a need for enhanced biosensing platforms offering improved precision and ease of use for real-time biomolecular analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and demonstrate a novel Coupled Waveguide-Surface Plasmon Resonance (CWSPR) biosensor.
  • To utilize a subwavelength grating structure for efficient light coupling and surface plasmon excitation.
  • To evaluate the performance of the CWSPR biosensor in terms of sensitivity, precision, and operational simplicity for real-time biomolecular interaction analysis.
