Challenges And Opportunities

Surface plasmonic sensors have been widely used in biology, chemistry, and environment monitoring. These sensors exhibit extraordinary sensitivity based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) or localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects, and they have found commercial applications. In this review, we present recent progress in the field of surface plasmonic sensors, mainly in the configurations of planar metastructures and optical-fiber waveguides. In the metastructure platform, the optical sensors based on LSPR, hyperbolic dispersion, Fano resonance, and two-dimensional (2D) materials integration are introduced. The optical-fiber sensors integrated with LSPR/SPR structures and 2D materials are summarized. We also introduce the recent advances in quantum plasmonic sensing beyond the classical shot noise limit. The challenges and opportunities in this field are discussed.

AbstractA simple optical fiber sensor based on localized surface plasmon resonance was constructed for direct and rapid measurement of thyroglobulin (Tg). Specific tests for Tg in patients that have undergone thyroidectomy are limited because of insufficient sensitivity, complicated procedures, and in some cases, a long time to yield a result. A sensitive, fast, and simple method is necessary to relieve the psychological and physical burden of the patient. Various concentrations of Tg were measured in a microfluidic channel using an optical fiber sensor with gold nanoparticles. The sensor chip has a detection limit of 93.11 fg/mL with no specificity for other antigens. The potential applicability of the Tg sensing system was evaluated using arbitrary samples containing specific concentrations of Tg. Finally, the sensor can be employed to detect Tg in the patient’s serum, with a good correlation when compared with the commercial kit.

Abstract Fiber optic based localized surface plasmon resonance (FO-LSPR) sensor is one of the biosensors that detects specific biomolecules and can detect the onset of disease. In this paper, we propose two methods to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the sensor, which is one of the main characteristics of the FO-LSPR sensor. The first method is to increase the intensity of the sensor by increasing the size of gold nanoparticle (Au NP) formed on the optical fiber surface by Au capping method. The second method is to form a structure that reduces the reflection by increasing the roughness of the surface by etching the surface of the optical fiber using the Au NP formed on the surface of the optical fiber as a mask. Increasing the roughness of the optical fiber surface can reduce the background signal of the sensor. The two methods mentioned above can increase the SNR of the sensor. When the SNR of the sensor is increased, the efficiency of the sensor is improved.
