This paper describes the use of surface plasmon microscopy combined with image analysis software for the in situ monitoring of the binding of analytes from the aqueous phase to the elements of a sensor chip arranged in a 2D matrix, each being individually functionalized with a specific binding site. An inkjet technique is used to generate the 4×4 matrix of sensor spots.

The transformation of p-polarized waveguide modes into waveguide-surface plasmon coupled modes is introduced as a promising concept to combine features of propagating guided modes (of different orders) with the resonant local field enhancement of surface plasmons. Owing to the resonance character of this coupling scheme, the attenuation of guided modes depends very sensitively on the effective refractive index of the superstrate.

The authors demonstrate that a small and efficient chemical/biological sensor can be built by the use of surface plasmon resonance in integrated optics. A model analysis of the sensor structure is performed, and some experimental results for gas detection are presented.

A novel design of surface plasmon resonance sensor is reported which leads to a highly miniaturized optical fiber sensing element with high sensitivity. The surface plasmon wave is excited on a thin metal film deposited onto a side-polished singlemode optical fiber. Variations in the refractive index of the analyte are detected by measuring changes in the intensity of the light back-reflected from a mirrored end face of the fiber.

Thin Solid Films 1998;335:178-185. This paper reports on experiments with a combination of surface plasmon optics, second harmonic generation and electrochemical techniques aimed at characterizing alkanethiolates of varying chain length and controlled sub-monolayer coverage. It nicely demonstrates the gain in information if results from a combination of techniques are interpreted altogether.

Sens Actuat B 1999;54:145-165. The combination of surface plasmon spectroscopy (SPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) with electrochemical methods (cyclic voltammetry, potential step) is used to (i) probe the film/substrate interaction in alkanethiol monolayers formed on gold surfaces and (ii) monitor the electrochemically driven deposition of organic molecules onto a metal surface. The reductive desorption of alkanethiols at single crystal and polycrystalline gold surfaces was investigated by SPS and AFM. The self-assembly of alkanethiols on gold under potential control was also monitored by SPS. Finally, the immobilization of biotin on gold surfaces has been carried out by the electropolymerization of a water-soluble, biotinylated derivative of 3-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. The molecular recognition of the biotinylated polyphenol film by the bacterial protein streptavidin was monitored.

The authors report on the use of colloidal gold to enhance the signal obtained from a surface-plasmon-biosensor. Fab fragments of human IgG molecules were immobilized on the plane Au surface and reacted with Au nanoparticle coupled sheep anti-human IgG antibodies. A sensitivity enhancement factor of 300 was found.

The effect of colloidal Au nanoparticle immobilization on surface plasmon resonance reflectivity is reported. Adhesion of the Au clusters result in a large shift in resonance angle, a broadened reflectivity curve, and an increase in minimum reflectance. The potential for advances in the generality and sensitivity of SPR biosensors is discussed.
