Abstract

A theoretical study on a novel planar waveguide surface Plasmon Biosensor is presented in this paper. The proposed biosensor has a configuration similar to the Otto excitation mechanism for surface Plasmon polaritons. The performance of the device with respect to key system parameters such as gap width and device length is investigated using an eigenmode solver with perfectly matched layers (PML). Device resolution of 2.3 x 10-4 RIU has been demonstrated for an aqueous analyte.
