Universal tool for surface plasmon resonance sensors realized in waveguides

Abstract

This work presents the design, the implementation, and the testing of a novel tool relative to plasmonic sensors in waveguides. A novel tool gathers all the latest information technology to speed up and improve the quality of the results of the experiments done. The developed tool is very simple to use and can be applied in several plasmonic sensor configurations, where the measurements can be carried out in spectral mode. The realized tool will be useful in different application fields, such as in point-of-care applications, environment monitoring, Internet of things (IoT) applications, security, and industrial applications. The key features will be portability and performance, taking advantage of technological developments, either hardware and software.
