摘要: A method to enhance the absorption sensitivity of a sample by utilizing surface-field enhancement with surface-plasmon resonance is proposed. The experimental setup based on configuration for attenuated total internal reflection (ATR) but thin metal film deposed substrate prism. mechanism responsible analyzed theoretically; best thickness have attain optimum numerically calculated. Experimental results are shown in which proposed compared conventional ATR exhibits measurement. sensor applications this technique also discussed.
