Colour and image processing for output extraction of a LSPR sensor
Mansour, Rima; Stojkovic, Vladan; Vygranenko, Yuri; Lourenço, Paulo; Jesus, Rui; Fantoni, AlessandroSensors based on the Local Surface plasmon Resonance (LSPR) are attractive due to their simple structure and good sensitivity, but the expensive optoelectronic part of the device is limiting the practical applications. There is a need for new strategies to bring the excellent detection properties of LSPR sensors to the playground of low-cost devices and materials. In this work, it is proposed a novel approach t...
Arrayed graphene enhanced surface plasmon resonance for sensing applications
Fantoni, Alessandro; Vygranenko, Yuri; Maçarico, António; Serafinelli, Caterina; Fernandes, Miguel; Mansour, Rima; Jesus, Rui; Vieira, ManuelaCombination of carbon-based nanomaterials (CNMs) with AuNPs has been demonstrated to enhance the LSPR response and facilitate the functionalization with specific and selective antibodies. Also, the introduction of CNMs in the plasmonic layer allows tuning of the LSPR central frequency. Joining the double dependence of the LSPR on the MNPs size and the presence of CNMs, it is possible to create a set of plasmoni...
