    Surface-plasmon-resonance (SPR) sensors are widely used in biological, chemical, medical, and environmental sensing. SPR sensors supporting two surface-plasmon modes can differentiate surface binding interactions from bulk index changes at a single sensing location. We present a new approach to dual-mode SPR sensing that offers improved differentiation between surface and bulk effects. By using an angular interrogation, both long- and short-range surface plasmons are simultaneously excited at the same location and wavelength but at different angles. Initial experiments indicate that angular interrogation offers at least a factor of 3.6 improvement in surface and bulk cross-sensitivity compared to wavelength-interrogated dual-mode SPR sensors.

    A plasmonic nanochannel structure consisting of periodic vertical Au/Si/Au nanochannels connected by U-shaped gold layers is demonstrated as a narrow-band plasmonic thermal emitter. Due to coupling of localized surface plasmons in the channels and propagating surface plasmons under the U-shaped gold layers, a narrow-band emission peak is observed.

    We experimentally and theoretically prove the existence of a new class of plasmonic modes, distinct from surface plasmons, we call Brewster plasmons. We measure dispersion and demonstrate far-field coupling to both surface and Brewster plasmons.

    We demonstrate an efficient nanoscale electrical detector for propagating surface plasmons, tightly confined to nanoscale silver wires. Our technique is based on the near-field coupling between guided plasmons and a nanowire field-effect transistor. We demonstrate that this near-field circuit can efficiently detect the plasmon emission from a single quantum dot that is directly coupled to the plasmonic waveguide.

    A new method of determining experimentally the magnetic susceptibilities of gases and vapours is described. Compensation is effected for the test bulbs, and the influence of surface condensation, if any, of gases and vapours can be allowed for and separately investigated. Electromagnetic retorsion is employed and the arrangement is rendered independent of small changes in the magnetizing current. The molar susceptibility of carbon dioxide was found to be -(20.79 ± 0.08) × 10-6, showing good coincidence with the values of other investigators. The arrangement is being improved in several directions to give much greater accuracy. A systematic investigation of many gases and vapours will then be undertaken.

    Most gases and vapours with a bipolar molecular structure absorb infrared energy. If such a gas is interposed between an object emitting infrared radiation and a thermocamera the gas will absorb some of the infrared radiation and thus cast a shadow on the thermocamera picture. In this assay it is possible to visualise the gas. This method had been used to study pollution with anaesthetic gases and vapours in operating theatres. The vapours of other chemicals used in hospitals and other places of work also have been studied. The method permits the study of dispersion and flow patterns of polluting gases and vapours during work.

    Abstract Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of free electrons localized at surfaces of structures made of metals. Since the surface plasmons induce fluctuations of electric charge at surfaces, they are accompanied by electromagnetic oscillations. Electromagnetic fields associated with surface plasmons are localized at surfaces of metallic structures and significantly enhanced compared with the excitation field. These two characteristics are ingredients for making good use of surface plasmons in plasmonics . Plasmonics is a rapidly growing and well-established research field, which covers various aspects of surface plasmons towards realization of a variety of surface-plasmon-based devices. In this paper, after summarizing the fundamental aspects of surface plasmons propagating on planar metallic surfaces and localized at metallic nanoparticles, recent progress in plasmonic waveguides, plasmonic light-emitting devices and plasmonic solar cells is reviewed.

    Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been attracting more attention because they have many color varieties in the visible region based on plasmon resonance, which is due to the collective oscillation of the electrons at the surface of the nanoparticles. We prepared 6 nm Au NPs to modify the surface of the glass substrate. Surface plasmons resonance of Au NPs in toluene is between 500 nm and 600 nm. When Au NPs are modified on the glass substrate, the peak of surface plasmons resonance of Au NPs is shifted. We employed spectral ellipsometry to detect optical properties. Then the characteristics of surface plasmons resonance of Au NPs is determined by reflective index. The performance of surface plasmons resonance of Au NPs on the glass substrate is simulated and shown.
