Abstract

It is demonstrated that surface plasmon sensing can be performed in the shot-noise-limited regime to resolve index of refractive changes on the order of 10−10/√Hz at input powers of 1 mW. This improved resolution is achieved by using active electronic noise cancelling to suppress laser intensity noise and a wavelength that maximizes sensitivity to index of refraction changes occurring at an interface. The resolution of the system is experimentally demonstrated by measuring the refractive index change of air in response to pressure changes.

Fig. 2 Simulation of SPR sensitivity index of refraction changes in the bulk solution dR/dn|bulk (a) and adsorption layer (b). The simulation assumes an SF11 prism, water as buffer solution and index of refraction for the adsorption layer of 1.5. Similar conclusions are reached for index of refraction up to 1.6. The thickness of the gold film is optimized for maximum sensitivity. The dispersion of water and SF11 is taken into account. The gold layer thickness is optimized for each wavelength.

Fig. 4 Experimental result of noise cancelling performance of the electronic noise canceller. In this measurement the laser beam is split into a signal beam and a comparison beam using a wedged plate beam splitter. The signal beam power is adjusted to be half that of the comparison beam intensity with an attenuator. The intensities of two beams are measured by matched photodetectors. The spectrum of the linear output of the noise canceller as measured with dynamic signal analyzer (SRS785, Stanford Research Systems, Inc.) is shown. The spikes that appear approximately every 500 Hz come from the laser, and are suppressed by the noise canceller.

Fig. 6 The reflectance and bulk sensitivity of angular SPR setup (with 44 nm Au film/ SF11 substrate) measurement of the change in the refractive index change in air. The sensitivity to bulk index change (circle) is directly measured by changing the refractive index of air by altering the pressure. The solid curve shows the sensitivity calculated from the measured angular reflectance curve.
