THEORY AND PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF SURFACE PLASMON RESONANCE FOR ANALYTICAL PURPOSES

摘要

On the basis of an analysis of current views about plasmonics a conceptual examination of propagating surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in relation to the basic mechanisms and operating forces was undertaken with the aim of defining the characteristics of SPR transducers for analytical applications. A simple model of a sensor system that makes it possible to relate the analytical requirements to the intrinsic physical or mechanical characteristics of SPR is examined. A brief review of modern developments is presented.
