Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Plasmonic sensing techniques have been widely applied for the fast and real-time detection of varied small molecular events. Moreover, they have received significant attention as a highly sensitive and accurate detection platform for medical diagnosis, food safety monitoring, drug analysis, and virus detection. Although widespread applications in this field have been reported, plasmonic sensing still needs to improve their sensitivity and has lots of potential for practical applications.

Given the rapid and widespread developments in this field, Sensors is planning a Special Issue devoted to addressing varied plasmonic sensing techniques integrated with nanowires, nanoposts, nanoholes, nanoparticles, or any kind of nanostructures.

I kindly request you to contribute to this Special Issue original research or review-type articles describing the most recent advances in plasmonic sensing with nanostructures and their practical applications such as detecting specific molecules, molecular interactions, medical diagnostics, food safety monitoring, and drug analysis. Also, we very welcome research or review papers for virus detection with a low-cost and high-accurate system.

Applying fiber-optics on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors is aimed at practical usability over conventional SPR sensors. Recently, field localization techniques using nanostructures or nanoparticles have been investigated on optical fibers for further sensitivity enhancement and significant target selectivity. In this review article, we explored varied recent research approaches of fiber-optics based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensors. The article contains interesting experimental results using fiber-optic LSPR sensors for three different application categories: (1) chemical reactions measurements, (2) physical properties measurements, and (3) biological events monitoring. In addition, novel techniques which can create synergy combined with fiber-optic LSPR sensors were introduced. The review article suggests fiber-optic LSPR sensors have lots of potential for measurements of varied targets with high sensitivity. Moreover, the previous results show that the sensitivity enhancements which can be applied with creative varied plasmonic nanomaterials make it possible to detect minute changes including quick chemical reactions and tiny molecular activities.
