    摘要: A system and method for fording the peak wavelength of the spectrum sensed by an LSPR spectrometer is described herein. The method comprises reading an image representing the reflected/absorbed spectrum, using a mathematical model of the LSPR spectrometer system to estimate a parametric curve representing the absorbance/reflectance spectrum, and adjusting or optimizing the parameters of the parametric curve so as to increase the likelihood of the parametric curve representing the sensed spectrum. Also described herein is a novel method to achieve LSPR peak wavelength signal noise reduction using an adaptive regularization algorithm.

    摘要: Lumiphoric materials and corresponding light-emitting devices, and more particularly localized surface plasmon resonance for enhanced photoluminescence of lumiphoric materials are disclosed. Plasmonic materials are disclosed that are configured to induce localized surface plasmon resonance and excite a corresponding localized surface plasmon enhanced electric field in response to incident light. An increase in photoluminescence of lumiphoric materials may be realized when the lumiphoric materials are arranged within the localized surface plasmon enhanced electric field. Plasmonic materials are disclosed that include various arrangements of nanoparticles and/or patterned structures with corresponding dielectric materials that are collectively arranged in close proximity to lumiphoric materials.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods are provided for quantitative detection of mercury vapor in gas samples using a film of nanoparticles. The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of an amalgam nanoparticle is sensitive to adsorbed mercury mass. The equilibrium mass of mercury on a gold nanoparticle is a function of the surrounding vapor concentration and the temperature of the gold. A device that introduces a temperature-controlled gold nanoparticle film to a controlled flow of sample gas responds predictably to a given mercury vapor concentration when optically probed in situ. Controlling the temperature of the film allows for control of adsorption and desorption rates. Equilibrium plasmonic mercury detection, described herein, removes the cycling necessary for many gold-based mercury analyses. Methods are given for the operation and analysis of the temperature-stabilized gold nanoparticle mercury sensor. The disclosed mercury-detection apparatus and methods find use in a variety of applications, including, for example, mercury detecting applications.

    摘要: A method of making a plasmon-resonance biosensor includes conjugating precious metal nanorods with form factor at least 1.5 with a biological probe material. Microfluidic chambers of volume under 0.025 microliter are formed over a substrate, and an aqueous suspension of the conjugated nanorods is injected into the chambers. The nanorods are organized in rows and aligned in long dimension along the rows. The biosensor is configured to be read by obtaining an optical absorption spectrum upon exposure to the analyte. The biosensor includes precious metal nanorods organized in rows with long dimension approximately parallel to the rows. The nanorods are conjugated with biological probes capable of binding to an analyte, the probes may be an aptamer, an antibody, a protein-nucleic acid (PNA), a complimentary DNA, or an enzyme having a binding site.
