This article discusses the modulation design of plasmonics for diagnosis and drug screening applications. It begins with an overview of the advances made in terms of theoretical insights, focusing on the origins of surface plasmon wave and manipulation, admittance loci design method, and surface plasmon grating coupled emission. It then considers how prism coupler, Ge-doped silica waveguide, nanograting and active plasmonics can trigger the excitation of surface plasmon resonance (SPR). It also examines the metallic effect of long-range surface plasmon resonance and conducting metal oxide as adhesive layer before describing three SPR waveguide biosensors that were developed for the realization of a hand-held SPR system. In particular, it presents a lateral-flow microfluidic channel based on a nitrocellulose membrane and integrated with a SPR waveguide biosensor to achieve dynamic detection. Finally, the article evaluates the biomolecular layer effect, with emphasis on kinetics analysis of antibody binding.

A novel vanadium–cellulose composite thin film-based on angular interrogation surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for ppb-level detection of Ni(II) ion was developed. Experimental results show that the sensor has a linear response to the Ni(II) ion concentrations in the range of 2–50 ppb with a determination coefficient (R2) of 0.9910. This SPR sensor can attain a maximum sensitivity (0.068° ppb−1), binding affinity constant (1.819 × 106 M−1), detection accuracy (0.3034 degree−1), and signal-to-noise-ratio (0.0276) for Ni(II) ion detection. The optical properties of thin-film targeting Ni(II) ions in different concentrations were obtained by fitting the SPR reflectance curves using the WinSpall program. All in all, the proposed Au/MPA/V–CNCs–CTA thin-film-based surface plasmon resonance sensor exhibits better sensing performance than the previous film-based sensor and demonstrates a wide and promising technology candidate for environmental monitoring applications in the future.

We show here the design, fabrication, and characterization of a wedge-shaped Au thin film with an enhanced figure of merit (FOM). This is achieved by using a reflectivity change in an attenuated total reflection (ATR) setup by slightly modulating the wavenumber of the surface plasmon polariton by means of the varying thickness of the Au thin film. The wedge-shaped Au thin film is equivalent to multiple surface plasmon resonance (SPR) transducers integrated in a single chip and was fabricated by an electron-beam evaporation process with the position of the shutter controlled during the deposition. The FOM, defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum values of the normalized reflectivity change (ΔR/R) divided by the corresponding difference of the incident angles, was 8.0-times larger than that based on the reflectivity R. Also, we demonstrated that the wedge-shaped Au thin film was able to detect ethanol gas at a concentration of 0.2%, corresponding to a refractive index change of 2 × 10−5, without any surface functionalization. Since the sensing signal can be obtained with a single image from the wedge-shaped Au thin film without precise thickness control of the metal thickness, no other materials or modulation equipment is necessary, and the sensing chip can be employed in simple and highly sensitive systems.
