  • First Online:
Nanoplasmonic Sensors

Part of the book series: Integrated Analytical Systems ((ANASYS))

Abstract

The intense research efforts on the development, fabrication, characterization, and application of metallic nanostructures and films that support surface plasmon resonance (SPR) constitute a field called nanoplasmonics. Although SPR biosensing is well established, the development of new nanoplasmonic approaches for biosensing is still a very active research area, as it can be attested by the range of topics covered in this book. The SPR approach is widely used in biochemistry and biomedical research, because it offers a “label-free” alternative for the detection and quantification of biomolecular interactions. The objective of this chapter is to focus on the approaches for the integration of the nanoplasmonic sensing elements to the optical fiber technology. Initially, selected examples of applications of optical fiber in analytical sciences are presented. Next, techniques used to fabricate optical fiber-based devices developed for SPR and SERS sensing are discussed. Examples of applications of optical fiber based plasmonic devices are provided. The field of optical fiber applications in nano- plasmonics has been in effervescence in the recent years, and the wide-coverage review of the field in this chapter is intended to give a more comprehensive understanding of the current state-of-the-art to the interested reader.
