Project
The project is focused on the fabrication of nano-structures to couple/decouple Surface Plasmon Waves (SPWs) in order to improve the sensitivity of commercial and research prototypes. Studies using fabrication techniques (like e-beam and photolithography) and surface analysis were made in order to obtain the longest propagation distance for SPWs. This knowledge is used for the fabrication and characterization of prototypes.
Improvement of sensitivity of commercial SPR setups using microstructures and the supply of monolithically integrated prototypes are two of the goods given by the project. Looking at integration with easy fabrication and low manufacturing cost are two of the main keys envisioned during the development of my studies.
