Ultrastable embedded surface plasmon confocal interferometry (2014)
Journal Article
Pechprasarn, S., Zhang, B., Albutt, D., Zhang, J., & Somekh, M. (2014). Ultrastable embedded surface plasmon confocal interferometry. Light: Science and Applications, 3(7), Article e187. https://doi.org/10.1038/lsa.2014.68

As disease diagnosis becomes more sophisticated, there is a requirement to measure small numbers of molecules attached to, for instance, an antibody. This requires a sensor capable not only of high sensitivity but also the ability to make measurement... Read More about Ultrastable embedded surface plasmon confocal interferometry.

Surface plasmon microscopic sensing with beam profile modulation (2012)
Journal Article

Surface Plasmon microscopy enables measurement of local refractive index on a far finer scale than prism based systems. An interferometric or confocal system gives the so-called V(z) curve when the sample is scanned axially, which gives a measure of...
