Fiber cladding dual channel surface plasmon resonance sensor based on S-type fiber

Fiber cladding surface plasmon resonance(SPR)sensors have few structures,and a clad SPR sensor based on S-type fiber is proposed in this paper.This new type of fiber cladding SPR sensor was formed by electrofusing an S-shaped structure on the fiber to couple the light in the fiber core to the cladding.In this paper,the effects of fiber parameters on the performance of the sensor were studied by simulation and experiment.Based on the conclusion that the smaller the core diameter is,the closer the working band of the SPR resonance is to long wavelengths,and that the geometric characteristics mean that a multimode fiber can receive the fiber cladding light from a small core diameter few-mode fiber,a dual channel SPR sensor with a double S-type fiber cascade was proposed.In the refractive index detection range of 1.333–1.385refractive index units(RIU),the resonant working band of channel I is 627.66 nm–759.78 nm,with an average sensitivity of 2540.77 nm/RIU,and the resonant working band of channel II is 518.24 nm–658.2 nm,with an average sensitivity of2691.54 nm/RIU.The processing method for the S-type fiber cladding SPR sensor is simple,effectively solving the problem of this type of SPR sensor structure and the difficult realization of a dual channel.The sensor is expected to be used in the fields of medical treatment and biological analysis.

Dual-channel fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance sensor with cascaded coaxial dual-waveguide D-type structure and microsphere structure

To address the restriction of fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance(SPR) sensors in the field of multi-sample detection, a novel dual-channel fiber-optic SPR sensor based on the cascade of coaxial dual-waveguide D-type structure and microsphere structure is proposed in this paper. The fiber sidepolishing technique converts the coaxial dual-waveguide fiber into a D-type one, and the evanescent wave in the ring core leaks, generating a D-type sensing region;the fiber optic fused ball push technology converts the coaxial dual waveguides into microspheres, and the stimulated cladding mode evanescent wave leaks, producing the microsphere sensing region. By injecting light into the coaxial dual-waveguide middle core alone, the sensor can realize single-stage sensing in the microsphere sensing area;it can also realize dual-channel sensing in the D-type sensing area and microsphere sensing area by injecting light into the ring core. The refractive index measurement ranges for the two channels are 1.333–1.365 and 1.375–1.405, respectively, with detection sensitivities of 981.56 nm/RIU and 4138 nm/RIU. The sensor combines wavelength division multiplexing and space division multiplexing technologies, presenting a novel research concept for multi-channel fiber SPR sensors.

Analysis of 17β-Estadiol from Sewage in Coastal Marine Environment by Surface Plasmon Resonance Technique

In this study, surface plasmon resonance （SPR） for monitoring 17β-eatradiol （E2） was developed. The small molecule E2 was immobilized on a CM5 sensor chip for an indirect competitive immunoassay to detect E2. The SPR response bahed on the antigen-antibody reaction was measured by injecting the sample solution into the flow system. The limitation of detection was 0.445 μg/L. The developed SPE-SPR system was applied to analyze the seawater samples. Recovery of E2 was 91.6%-93. 1%. Relative standard deviations（RSD） for the E2 assay were between 10.9%-15.1% （n = 3）. The range of determination of E2 samples from the sewage in the coastal marine environ-ment was between ND（lower than detection limit） and ca. 11.78 ng/L.

Detection of Penicillin via Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosensor

A method of using Au colloid to capture the decomposed product of penicillin, penicillamine, on a surface plasmon resonance（SPR） biosensor for the quantitative determination of penicillin was developed. Based on the de-composition of penicillin to generate penicillamine and penilloaldehyde, a high sensitive biosensor for detecting penicillin was also developed. In our experiment, it was penicillamine rather than penicillin that has been measured. This is because penicillamine contains a functional group that makes it self-assembling on Au colloid to increase the molecular weight so as to improve the surface plasmon resonance signal. On a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, a high concentration of penicilliamine-Au complex was determined, indicating that penicillamine was already well combined with Au colloid. The method, using the combination of Au colloid with penicillamine, proved to detect penicillin.

Characteristics of Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging lnterferometer

In recent life science research,identifying and characterizing entire biomolecular interaction networks is prerequisite to understanding cellular processes on a molecular and biophysical level.A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging interferometer based on spatial phase modulation detection is presented to meet this demand.In this method,the SPR sensing chip surface is illuminated with collimated parallel light beam,and a Wollaston prism is introduced into the reflected light path to produce the interference of polarized light reflected from SPR sensing chip.Information of biomolecular interactions can be obtained by extracting the phase change from the SPR interference patterns.Using our interferometer,we made experiments on a series concentration of NaCl solutions to investigate its detection range,linearity,sensitivity and resolution.The results indicate that the SPR imaging interferometer is mainly sufficient for biomolecular interaction detection.

Surface plasmon resonance sensor based on molecularly imprinted films for the detection of pentaerythritol tetranitrate （PETN）

A novel surface plasmon resonance （SPR） sensor based on molecularly imprinted films （MIFs） was developed for the detection of pentaerythritol tetranitrate （PETN）. In this work, the thin MIFs were formed on a gold sensor chip through thermal co-polymerization of functional mono- mers （methacrylic acid, MAA） and crosslinking monomers （ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, EGD- MA） in the presence of template molecules PETN. The template molecules PETN were subsequently removed from the MIFs simply by rinsing the MIFs with a mixture of acetonitrile and acetic acid 9：1 （ v/v）, thus the recognition sites were formed for specific detection of PETN. According to the mass coverage equation, the surface coverage of removed PETN from MIFs was about 10. 8 ng/mm~. The developed SPR sensor allowed for the detection of PETN at concentration down to 10-~~ mol/L. A control experiment utilizing an analogue cyclotrimethylenetrinitramine （RDX） showed MIFs＇ good selectivity to PETN.

Development and Application of Time-Resolved Surface Plasmon Resonance Spectrometer

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor, an optical sensor exploiting special electromagnetic waves-surface plasmon polaritons to probe interactions between an analyte in solution and a molecular recognition element immobilized on the SPR sensor surface, has been widely used in various realms, such as investigating biomolecular interactions and binding properties, detection of biological and chemical analytes, environmental monitoring, food safety and medical diagnostics. This paper reviews the development of SPR sensors and SPR commercial instruments, and emphatically introduces the time-resolved surface plasmon resonance (TR-SPR) techniques. The excellent performances of high sensitivity and rapid detection are easily achieved with TR-SPR spectrometer, whereas the traditional SPR spectrometer cannot be accomplished. Therefore, TR-SPR spectrometer is appropriate for real time analysis of bio-recognition events and small molecular dynamics. However, only two commercial TR-SPR instruments have been exhibited at present, Thermo FT-SPR 100 and Autolab ESPRIT (SPRINGLE). Unfortunately, the high-priced instruments are not suitable for extensive applications in laboratories at present. Herein, a novel commercial TR-SPR spectrometer has been introduced in this review.

Comparison of Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering Spectra of Two Kinds of Silver Nanoplate Films

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering（SERS） spectra of different silver nanoplate selt-assembled tllmS at different excitation wavelengths were fairly compared. Shape conversion from silver nanoprisms to nanodisks on slides was in situ carried out. The SERS spectra of 4-mercaptopyridine（4-MPY） on these anisotropic silver nanopar- ticle self-assembled films present that strong enhancement appeared when the excitation line and the surface plasmon resonance（SPR） band of silver substrate overlapped. In this model, the influence of the crystal planes of silver na- noplates on SERS enhancement could be ignored because the basal planes were nearly unchanged in two kinds of silver nanoplate self-assembled films.

Surface plasmon polaritons frequency-blue shift in low confinement factor excitation region

Surface plasmon polaritons'(SPPs')frequency blue shift is observed in finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)simulation of parallel electron excitation Au bulk structure.Comparing with cold dispersion of SPPs,an obvious frequency blue shift is obtained in low confinement region excitation simulation results.Then,according to SPPs'transverse attenuation characteristics,the excited frequency mode instead of cold dispersion corresponding frequency mode matches it.Thence,this excited mode is confirmed to be SPPs'mode.As is well known the lower the frequency,the smaller the confinement factor is and the lower the excitation efficiency,the wider the bandwidth of excited SPPs is.And considering the attenuation in whole structure,the excited surface field contains attenuation signal.In a low confinement factor region,the higher the SPPs'frequency,the higher the excitation efficiency is,while broadband frequency information obtained in attenuation signal provides high frequency information in stimulation signal.Thence,in the beam-wave interaction,as the signal oscillation time increases,the frequency of the oscillation field gradually increases.Thus,compared with cold dispersion,the frequency of excited SPP is blueshifted This hypothesis is verified by monitoring the time domain signal of excited field in low and high confinement factor regions and comparing them.Then,this frequency-blue shift is confirmed to have commonality of SPPs,which is independent of SPPs'material and structure.Finally,this frequency-blue shift is confirmed in an attenuated total reflection(ATR)experiment.Owing to frequency dependence of most of SPPs'devices,such as coherent enhancement radiation and enhancement transmission devices,the frequency-blue shift presented here is of great influence in the SPPs applications.
