Abstract
Surface plasmon-polaritons are electromagnetic modes that can be excited at a conducting-dielec-tric interface [1]. The engineering of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based devices is a milestone in the development of optical sensors. The ability to construct an all-optical system to confine lightwave power at subwavelength dimensions with higher levels of sensitivity and resolution in a broad spectral range are the central features that have attracted a rapid-growing interest in SPR sensors [2]. Particularly, minute variations in the refractive index of the surrounding medium (also known as analyte) change significantly the characteristics of the electromagnetic fields of a surface plasmon mode. As a consequence, the spectral shifts in the mode phase and also losses variations in the associated confined power can be used to detect analyte properties that are described in terms of the refractive index [3].
