一种新型光谱表面等离子体共振二维探测方法在DNA微阵列中的应用

在此前曾提出过一种新型二维折射率探测方法——并行扫描光谱表面等离子体共振(surface plasmon resonance, SPR)成像方法。在这种方法中,使用线形光照明,CCD得到的图像包含SPR光谱信息和一维空间信息,进而通过计算可得到折射率的一维分布信息。通过一维扫描,就能够得到整个被扫描区域内的折射率二维分布信息。该方法具有高灵敏、高通量的优点,适合微阵列(microarray)的检测, 并完善了这种方法的数据处理过程,使用空气折射率作为参考,消除了无法精确控制入射角的难题。使用该方法对手工点制的军团菌mip DNA探针微阵列进行了检测,证明了这种方法高灵敏无标记地探测微阵列的可行性。我们得到的军团菌mip DNA探针制备浓度与其等效折射率的关系,这对基于SPR的微阵列技术的发展有着重要的参考意义。     

An Approximate Theoretical Model of Surface Plasmon Resonance Optical Waveguide and Fibre-optic Sensors

Optical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation can be theoretically depicted and discussed using Fresnel’s equations. However, Fresnel’s equations cannot explicitly give expressions to reflect the characteristics of SPR systems, especially in SPR optical waveguide and fibre-optic sensors. In this paper a mathematical model based on the approximation proposed by Kretschmann in bulk optics is presented to describe the characteristics of SPR optical waveguide and fibre-optic sensors. The results show that the model keeps high accuracy when used in the area close to the minimum reflection, at which the resonance condition is achieved. This model can be used to analytically estimate the performance of SPR optical waveguide sensors, and SPR fibre-optic sensors in meridional rays approximation.

Novel Design of Sagnac Interferometry Assisted with Surface Plasmon Resonance Based Sensor Technique

In this work, we demonstrate a novel design to investigate interfacial reaction of optical activity materials, utilizing a Sagnac interferometer assisted with surface plasmon resonance based sensor technique. Upon application to interrogate optical activity, the type-2 optical configuration of close loop in this work can entirely encircle the interaction zone of surface plasmon resonance reacting with optical activity medium, while the type-1 optical configuration of close loop does partially. The greater the geometrical phase owing to the encircled interaction zone between optical activity medium and polarized light, the larger the phase shift of interference pattern modulated by the concentration of optical activity medium. The slope of phase shift in interference phase pattern of p-wave vs. concentration of dextrose solution determined with this method is greatly improved, 3000 times better than that with Lee's method, 18,600 times with Lin's method, and 222,000 times with Chou's method. Besides, the pinch point of phase shift vs. concentration indicates the ending of interference pattern phase shift as the concentration of each tested optical activity medium keeps climbing up, and can reflect the strong dependence of molecular shape during interfacial adsorption.     

Design of Highly Sensitive Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensors Using Planar Metallic Films Closely Coupled to Nanogratings

We investigate the sensitivity enhancement of surface plasmon resonance （SPR） sensors using planar metallic films closely coupled to nanogratings. The strong coupling between localized surface plasmon resonances （LSPRs） presenting in metallic nanostructures and surface plasmon polaritons （SPPs） propagating at the metallic film surface leads to changes of resonance reflection properties, resulting in enhanced sensitivity of SPR sensors. The effects of thickness of the metallic films, grating period and metal materials on the refractive index sensitivity of the device are investigated. The refractive index sensitivity of nanograting-based SPR sensors is predicted to be about 543 nm/RIU （refractive index unit） using optimized structure parameters. Our study on SPR sensors using planar metallic films closely coupled to nanogratings demonstrates the potential for significant improvement in refractive index sensitivity.

Tunable Omnidirectional Surface Plasmon Resonance in Cylindrical Plasmonic Structure

The tunable omnidirectional surface plasmon resonance in the optical range is theoretically demonstrated in a cylindrical plasmonic crystal by using rigorous coupled-wave analysis. The cylindrical plasmonic crystal consists of an infinite chain of two-dimensional cylindrical metal--dielectric-dielectric-metal structures. The dispersion relation of the cylindrical plasmonic crystal is obtained by calculating the absorptance as a function of a TM-polarized incident plane wave and its in-plane wave vector. The omnidirectional surface plasmon resonance can be tuned from UV region to visible region by adjusting the thickness of the cylindrical dielectric layers. The absorption spectrum of the infinite chain of nanocylinders is also investigated for comparison.     

一个简便快速测定CO的纳米金表面等离子体共振吸收光谱法

CO主要由火焰或烤炉等碳的不完全燃烧所产生,是一种常温下为无色、无臭的有毒气体,人们受一氧化碳的污染在慢性中毒时完全意识不到它,有时甚至有舒适的感觉,这些特性更增加了它的危害性。因此,探索简便快速灵敏的CO检测方法具有重要意义。研究表明,在pH 7.2 磷酸盐缓冲溶液中,一氧化碳还原HAuCl₄ 生成近似球形的金纳米粒子(NG),其平均粒径为45 nm,在1.70, 2.20和9.70 keV处产生3个金元素的能谱峰,在540 nm处产生一个表面等离子体共振(SPR) 吸收峰。采用分光光度法优化了分析条件,选择磷酸盐缓冲缓冲溶液的pH为7.2,磷酸盐缓冲浓度为40 mmoL·L-1,HAuCl₄浓度为40.0 μg·mL-1,反应时间为5 min。在选定条件下,CO浓度在0.2～8.75 μg·mL-1范围内与其SPR吸收峰峰值成线性关系,检出限为0.1 μg·mL-1 CO。考察了共存物质对测定1.0 μg·mL-1 CO的影响。结果表明, 当相对误差在±5%之内,200倍的SO2-₃, PO3-₄, SO2-₄、CO2-₃, NO-₃;100倍的Zn2+, K+, BrO-₃, Na₂S, 乙醇, 甲醇;80倍的Ni2+,Cr3+,Co2+,Ca2+, Mg2+, Fe3+, 葡萄糖, Pb2+, Al3+, SeO2-₃, Na₂S₂O₃,甲醛;50倍的Mn2+不干扰测定。这表明该SPR光度法具有较好的选择性。采用本法测定了空气样品中CO含量,结果与气相色谱法一致,相对误差在1.8%～4.2%之间。

Silver‐Based Nanoparticles for Surface Plasmon Resonance in Organic Optoelectronics

Organic optoelectronic devices including organic light‐emitting diodes (OLEDs) and polymer solar cells (PSCs) have many advantages, including low‐cost, mechanical flexibility, and amenability to large‐area fabrication based on printing techniques, and have therefore attracted attention as next‐generation flexible optoelectronic devices. Although almost 100% internal quantum efficiency of OLEDs has been achieved by using phosphorescent emitters and optimizing device structures, the external quantum efficiency (EQE) of OLEDs is still limited due to poor light extraction. Also, although intensive efforts to develop new conjugated polymers and device architectures have improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 8%–9%, device efficiency must be improved to >10% for commercialization of PSCs. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect of metal nanoparticles (NPs) can be an effective way to improve the extraction of light produced by decay of excitons in the emission layer and by absorption of incident light energy within the active layer. Silver (Ag) NPs are promising plasmonic materials due to a strong SPR peak and light‐scattering effect. In this review, different SPR properties of Ag NPs are introduced as a function of size, shape, and surrounding matrix, and review recent progress on application of the SPR effect of AgNPs to OLEDs and PSCs.

Surface Plasmon Resonance and Aggregate Stability of Silver Nanoparticle Complexes with Chemotripsin

Extinction spectra, effective sizes, and aggregate stability of silver nanoparticles and nanocomplexes of silver nanoparticles with chymotrypsin obtained by the reactions of chemical reduction of silver nitrate using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent are studied. It is shown that silver nanoparticles obtained in the absence of chymotrypsin are aggregatively stable only at pH values immediately after synthesis. The placement of the synthesized silver nanoparticles in buffer solutions with pH values from 3.0 to 12.0 resulted in the appearance of a wide absorption band in the visible region of the spectrum, which is due to the agglomeration of silver nanoparticles, which appears to be the result of the destruction of the double electric layer formed by the ions making up sodium borohydride. The presence of chymotrypsin in the reaction medium resulted in significant spectral changes. Unlike silver nanoparticles synthesized in the absence of chymotrypsin, for nanocomplexes of silver nanoparticles with chymotrypsin with a change in pH, the shape of the extinction spectra and the position of the surface plasmon resonance band were preserved, while nanocomplexes of silver nanoparticles with chymotrypsin retained the aggregative stability in solutions in the pH range from 3.0 to 12.0 within a month. The observed stabilization effect of silver nanoparticles over a wide pH range induced by the presence of chymotrypsin in the reaction medium can be used further to develop methods for immobilizing enzymes on nanoparticles of biogenic elements and for creating polyfunctional pharmaceuticals, in which the components of nanocomplexes have different biological activity.     

Gold/Silica biochips: Applications to Surface Plasmon Resonance and fluorescence quenching

Furthermore, the control of the Silica-like thickness allows optimizing the distance between the metallic surface and the fluorophore in order to enhance the fluorescent signal. These results represent the first steps towards highly sensitive, specific and low cost biosensors based, for example, on Surface Plasmon Coupled Emission (SPCE) techniques.

We investigate the nanostructure, surface plasmon resonance （SPR） absorption and nonlinear enhancement of Au/Ag alloyed hollow nanoshells prepared by the replacement reaction of Ag nanoparticles in a HAuCI4 aqueous solution. As the volume of HAuCl4 increases from OmL to 0.S mL, the SPR band of the Au/Ag alloyed nanoshells is tuned from 430nm to 780nm, and the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility is enhanced nearly by an order of magnitude, which indicates a large enhancement of local field in the Au/Ag alloyed hollow nanoshells with hole defects.
