Abstract

A novel phase-sensitive surface plasmon resonance (pSPR) biosensor based on differential phase measurement between two cylindrical vector beams, namely radially polarized and azmuthally polarized beams, is proposed and studied in an inverted microscope. Different from a fixed angle or a relatively small angular range for SPR excitation in the attenuated total reflection (ATR) configuration, the signal beam focused by a total internal reflection fluorescence microscopic objective contains the entire angular range from 0 to the maximum angle given by the numerical aperture, leading to a dynamic range of 0.41 RIU which is over seven times wider than the best result of the ATR pSPR sensor. Moreover, with the technique of differential phase measurement between radial and azimuthal polarizations employed in our configuration, high sensitivity of ±9.05×108 refractive index unit/1deg can simultaneously be achieved in principle. The proposed technique maintains the unique advantages in terms of securing high imaging resolution and sensitivity with an ultra-wide dynamic range simultaneously.
