Variable incidence angle subwavelength grating SPR graphene biosensor

This paper investigates the sensitivity enhancement of a variable incidence angle subwavelength grating based multilayer surface plasmon resonance biosensor (SPRB). In the proposed design, a periodic array of subwavelength grating is integrated on top of a layer of graphene sheet in the multilayer SPR biosensor. The performance of the biosensor is investigated through monitoring the biomolecular interactions of cDNA-ssDNA interactions on its surface. The sensitivity improvement is indicated by the shift of the resonance peak angle.
