Abstract
Whispering gallery mode microresonators coupled to plasmonic nanoparticles have shown great promise for ultra-sensitive and label-free biological sensing. We analyze a whispering gallery mode microtoroid biosensor with a triangular gold nanoprism bound to its surface. We choose triangular nanoprism because of its capability of considerable enhancement of electromagnetic field at the tips and because its localized surface plasmon resonance band position is readily tunable. The local electric field enhancement at different points of plasmonic triangular gold nanoprism is calculated and the effect of rounded tip is investigated. This field enhancement permits the detection and characterization of some large protein molecules. We have studied the detection of single bovine serum albumin protein using our hybrid microcavity.
