- Abstract
- In this study, we investigated the sensitivity enhancement in
nanowire-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors using rigorous
coupled wave analysis (RCWA). The enhancement, enabled by the
excitation of localized surface plasmons in gold nanowires, offers improved
performance in sensitivity as well as in reproducibility and customizability.
Calculation results found that a T-profile provides higher sensitivity than an
inverse T-profile in general and also determined optimum design parameters.
Our study on a nanowire-enhanced SPR biosensor demonstrates the
potential for significant improvement in the sensitivity through the
nanowire-mediated localized SPR.
