Sensitivity enhancement of metamaterial-based surface plasmon resonance biosensor for near infrared
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study investigates the angular response and sensitivity of a surface plasmon resonance biosensor with metamaterial, by taking the advantage of the remarkable property of metamaterials. The proposed biosensor numerically shows that silver with a metamaterial layer enhances the sensitivity. The thickness of metamaterial and silver layer has been optimized. On comparing these results with a conventional surface plasmon resonance biosensor, it is observed that the sensitivity of the proposed biosensor is improved by introducing the metamaterial. The proposed biosensor has a sensitivity 6.3124 times higher than that of the conventional surface plasmon resonance sensor.

In this report, gold nanorods (GNRs) were used to enhance the sensitivity of the wavelength-modulated surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor. The GNRs were designed and fabricated through seed-medicated growth and surface activation by a layer of a weak polyelectrolyte, poly(acrylic acid) for the attaching antibody. Rabbit anti-goat IgG was immobilized on GNRs, and sandwich assays were carri...
