Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Biosystems: Fundamentals, Design and Applications presents fundamental theory and an overview of the application of advanced methods and concepts for the development of nanophotonic biosystems. It introduces LSPR biosensing concepts followed by a discussion of the material design aspects of the LSPR technology, including a description of methods used for developing new plasmonic materials and biosystems. After presenting the fundaments of LSPR biosystems, the book deals with practical aspects of implementing this technology in biosensor systems, discussing a variety of topics such as large-scale plasmonic structures, on-chip photonics which avoid use of light sources, and much more. Other sections cover tuning photonic properties for developing new applications related to biosensing and opportunities and challenges of such biosystems for translational research. This is an important resource for both scientists and engineers interested on the complete cycle of device development, from conceptualization to development and deployment, in the field of nanoplasmonic biosensing.
