摘要

Abstract

The surface plasmon resonance tracking over metal surfaces is a well-established

commercially available

biochemical quantification tool primarily applied in research. The utilization of such a tool is

however

constrained to highly specialized industries

capable of justifying the human and instrumental resource investments required by the characterization method. We have proposed to expand the field of application of this biosensing approach by redesigning this method through the integration and miniaturization within a semiconductor platform. Uncollimated and broadband emission from a light-emitting semiconductor is employed to couple a continuum of surface plasmon modes over a metal–dielectric architecture interfaced with a GaAs–AlGaAs substrate. A tensor version of rigorous coupled wave theory is employed to optimize the various fabrication specifications and to predict the light scatterings over a wide range of variables. We then present a hyperspectral characterization microscope capable of directly mapping the dispersion relation of scattered light

including diffracted surface plasmons

as an intensity distribution versus photon energy and surface wavevectors. Measurements carried out in a buffered solution demonstrate the accurate description of the uncollimated and broadband surface plasmon states. Finally

we introduce a simplified method of dispersion mapping

in which quasi-conic cross-sections of the light's scattering can be acquired directly

thus monitoring surficial responses in as fast as 1.2 s. This is over 300 times faster than required by implementing full dispersion mapping. While compromising on the volume of collected information

this method

combined with the solid-state integration of the platform

shows great promise for the fast detection of biochemical agents.
