摘要
In this paper, we study a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor with a microwell chip that is aimed at improving the sensitivity and reducing the noise. We present both theoretical simulations and experimental results obtained for the proposed structure. In comparison to most SPR sensors that use planar gold films, this proposed well structure enables a sensitivity enhancement of 128%. By confining the surface plasmon wave (SPW) within the well, we are able to reduce the noise by more than twice. The increased sensitivity and lower noise makes our proposed novel microwell chip suitable for small molecule or trace amount detection.
