A few years ago, the plasmon-induced electronic coupling (PIEC) model was proposed in the literature to explain small changes in the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) in nanogap systems. If this model is correct, it will be very helpful in both basic and application fields. In light of this, we carefully reexamined its appropriateness. Poly(4-vinylpyridine) (P4VP) used in the earlier work was, however, never a proper layer, since most adsorbates not only adsorbed onto Ag nanoparticles sitting on P4VP but also penetrated into the P4VP layer deposited initially onto a flat Ag substrate, ultimately ending up in the SERS hot sites. Using 1,4-phenylenediisocyanide and 4-nitrophenol as the affixing layer and the foreign adsorbate, respectively, we could clearly reveal that the PIEC model is not suited for explaining the Raman signal in a nanogap system. Most of the Raman signal must have arisen from molecules situated at the gap center.

금으로 된 금속선 광 도파로를 따라 속박되는 장거리 표면 플라즈몬을 이용하여 파장 가변 필터를 설계하고 제작하였다. 실리콘 기판 위에 제작된 금속선 도파로는 두 층의 열광학 폴리머 사이에 샌드위치 구조로 끼어 있도록 설계되었다. 도파로의 바로 윗면에는 유전체로 된 Bragg 회절격자가 적합한 주기로 제작되어, 중심 파장이 광통신 파장대 (1520$\sim$1570 nm)에 있으면서 높은 소광률($\sim$25 dB)을 갖는 파의 반사가 가능했고, 전체손실은 25 dB/cm 이하로 나타났다. 또한, 제작된 파장 가변 필터가 폴리머의 열-광학적 특성에 의해 파장가변 필터 소자로서의 응용이 가능함을 확인했으며, 금속선 광 도파로에 직접 연결된 전극 구조에 동시에 가해준 전류에 의해 파장이 가변 될 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인하였다.

For higher sensitivity in ultraviolet (UV) and even vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) detection of silicon-based sensors, a sandwich-structured film sensor based on Ag Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) was designed and fabricated. This film sensor was composed of a Ag nanoparticles (NPs) layer, SiO2 buffer and fluorescence layer by physical vapour deposition and thermal annealing. By tuning the annealing temperature and adding the SiO2 layer, the resonance absorption wavelength of Ag NPs matched with the emission wavelength of the fluorescence layer. Due to the strong plasmon resonance coupling and electromagnetic field formed on the surface of Ag NPs, the radiative recombination rate of the luminescent materials and the number of fluorescent molecules in the excited state increased. Therefore, the fluorescent emission intensity of the sandwich-structured film sensor was 1.10-1.58 times at 120-200 nm and 2.17-2.93 times at 240-360 nm that of the single-layer film sensor. A feasible method is provided for improving the detection performance of UV and VUV detectors.

광섬유의 클래딩을 갈아내고 코어 가까이에 알루미늄 박막을 증착하여 표면 플라즈몬으로의 편광 선택적인 모드 결합 원리를 이용하는 광섬유 편광기를 제작하였다. 633nm, 830nm, $1.3\mu\textrm{m}$의 단일 모드 광섬유를 사용하여 알루미늄 박막의 두께를 달리하며 소광률과 삽입손실을 측정한 결과 대부분의 샘플에서 30dB 이상의 소광률을 얻을 수 있었으며 삽입손실은 0.2dB 에서 1.5dB 사이였다.

We investigate characteristics of gold and silver metal strip waveguides based on long range surface plasmon polaritons (LRSPPs) along thin metal strips embedded in a polymer for practical applications at the wavelengths of 1.31 and 1.55 um. Guiding properties of the metal strip waveguides are theoretically and experimentally evaluated. In addition, surrounding technologies such as the development of TM-mode laser, coupling properties, as well as high-speed digital signal transporting experiments will be explained for board-to-board optical interconnections by using the LRSPP waveguides.

We performed a basic experiment for rapid, on-line, real-time measurement of HBsAg by using a surface plasmon resonance biosensor to quantify the recognition and interaction of biomolecules. We immobilized the anti-HBsAg polyclonal antibody to the dextran layer on a CM5 chip surface which was pre-activated by N-hydroxysuccinimide for amine coupling. The binding of the HBsAg to the immobilized antibody was measured by the mass increase detected by the change in the SPR signal. The binding characteristics between HBsAg and its antibody followed typical monolayer adsorption isotherm. When the entire immobilized antibody was interacted, there was no additional, non-specific binding observed, which suggested the biointeraction was very specific as expected and independent of the ligand density. No significant steric hindrance was observed at 17.6 nm/$mm^2$ immobilization density. The relationship between the HBsAg concentration in the sample solution and the antigen bound to the chip surface was linear up to ca. $40\mu\textrm{g}$/mL, which is much wider than that of the ELISA method. It appeared the antigen-antibody binding was increased as the immobilized ligand density increased, but verification is warranted. This study showed the potential of this biosensor-based method as a rapid, simple, multi-sample, on-line assay. Once properly validated, it can serve as a more powerful method for HBsAg quantification replacing the current ELISA method.

We study polarization-dependent spontaneous emission (SE) rate and light extraction efficiency (LEE) in localized-surface-plasmon (LSP)-coupled light emitting diodes (LEDs). The closely packed seven $Ag/SiO_2$ core-shell (CS) nanoparticles (NPs) lie on top of the GaN surface for LSP coupling with a radiated dipole. According to the dipole direction, both the SE rate and the LEE are significantly modified by the LSP effect at the $Ag/SiO_2$ CS NPs when the size of Ag, the thickness of $SiO_2$, and the position of the dipole source are varied. The enhancement of the SE rate is related to an induced dipole effect at the Ag, and the high LEE is caused by light scattering with an LSP mode at $Ag/SiO_2$ CS NPs. We suggest the optimum position of the quantum well (QW) in blue InGaN/GaN LEDs with $Ag/SiO_2$ CS NPs for practical application.

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging system was constructed and used to detect the hexahistidine-ubiquitin-tagged human parathyroid hormone fragment (His$\sub$6/-Ub-hPTHF(1-34)) expressed in Escherichia coli. The hexahistidine-specific antibody was immobilized on a thin gold film coated with ProLinker$\^$TM/ B, a novel calixcrown derivative with a bifunctional coupling property that permits efficient immobilizaton of capture proteins on solid matrices. The soluble and insoluble fractions of an E. coli cell lysate were spotted onto the antibody-coated gold chip, which was then washed with buffer (pH 7.4) solution and dried. SPR imaging measurements were carried out to detect the expressed His$\sub$6/-Ub-hPTHF(1-34). There was no discernible protein image in the uninduced cell lysate, indicating that non-specific binding of contaminant proteins did not occur on the gold chip surface. It is expected that the approach used here to detect affinity-tagged recombinant proteins using an SPR imaging technique could be used as a powerful tool for the analyses of a number of proteins in a high-throughput mode.
