The objective is research of new multilayered structures aiming to an
increase of resolution, multiplexation and robustness of already existing
sensors with surface plasmons. First, the possibility of implementation of a
special type of surface plasmon with low losses will be investigated. Its
narrower spectral response should enable encoding of more measured channels
into one spectral response and, at the same time, increase the sensitivity
of the sensor. The possibility of employing other types of guided waves will
be also considered in order to investigate new methods of suppression of
parasitic phenomena accompanying the measurement (self-reference). Such a
multichannel sensor with self-reference might be used for real-time
detection of bacteria, viruses, hormones and drugs.
