Advanced biosensing using simultaneous excitation of short and long range surface plasmons

Advanced biosensing using simultaneous excitation of short and long range surface plasmons
Advanced biosensing using simultaneous excitation of short and long range surface plasmons

We present a novel optical biosensor which exploits simultaneous excitation of two different surface plasmons in a single sensing spot. It allows compensation of cross-sensitivity to background refractive index change, as a typical surface plasmon resonance sensor is sensitive to both the absorption of a thin film on the surface (sensing event) and the refractive index change of the background (an interfering effect). The structure parameters are optimized to yield low noise and minimum cross-sensitivity. In the performed model experiment, IgE biomolecules at a concentration of 250 ng ml-1 are detected during a change in the background refractive index of 10-3.

Abstract

We present a novel optical biosensor which exploits simultaneous excitation of two different surface plasmons in a single sensing spot. It allows compensation of cross-sensitivity to background refractive index change, as a typical surface plasmon resonance sensor is sensitive to both the absorption of a thin film on the surface (sensing event) and the refractive index change of the background (an interfering effect). The structure parameters are optimized to yield low noise and minimum cross-sensitivity. In the performed model experiment, IgE biomolecules at a concentration of 250 ng ml-1 are detected during a change in the background refractive index of 10-3.
