Abstract

The objective of this paper is to carry out photoacoustic investigation of surface plasmons, so as to explore the possibility of employing photoacoustic techniques in real time sensing based on plasmon resonance spectroscopy. Such sensors exploit the high sensitivity of the surface plasmon frequency to the refractive index of layers of adsorbed molecules on the surface. Generally the resonance conditions are influenced by the material adsorbed onto the thin metal film, which will be explored in this project. An in house developed photoacoustic technique is employed as the detection system and subsequent spectroscopic investigations.
