Paper: “Plasmonic Sensing of Biological Analytes Through Nanoholes”, IEEE Sensors Journal, vol. 8 (12), pp. 2074-2079, Dec. 2008.The paper demonstrates a unique optical sensing mechanism and nanostructure in microfluidics for label-free detection of chemical and biomolecular analytes by surface plasmon resonance. The optical detection method achieves an excellent sensitivity of 6.6 10-5 refractive index units, demonstrated for specific detection of pathogens.
