What is a plasmon?
A plasmon is a density wave in an electron gas - a collective
oscillations of the free electron gas density. It is analogous to a sound
wave, which is a density wave in a real gas of molecules.

Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biosensor
LSPR sensing streptavidin binding to biotin
LSPR biosensor
consists of 3 major
components
 Plasmonic surface:
signal transduction
 Passivating layer:
reduces nonspecific
binding
 Probe layer: recognize
specific targets

Summary and Conclusions
• - Electronics and Photonics alone are insufficient technologies given
the need for enhanced speed and precision of biosensing devices.
• - SPR technology is label-free and precise.
• - SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance) biosensing can be designed using
a variety of geometric and chemical specifications reflective of
chemical compositions.
• - SPR technology may be further optimized for sensitivity and
selectivity for specified wavelengths.
• - SPR technology can further optimize spatial organization on chips.
