Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, with the advancement of science and technology, the concentration of the sample to be tested is getting lower and lower, and it is even hoped to reach the level of a few or a single molecule. The change in the refractive index of the sample caused by a small concentration change is weaker, which requires a larger sensitivity of the SPR sensor. promotion
The sensitivity of existing SPR sensors (based on amplitude, spectrum, and light intensity) is generally 1×10 -4 RIU~1×10 -6 Between the RIU (Refractive Index Unit), it is equivalent to the inherent noise level of the light source and the instrument, and it is difficult to have room for improvement
The SPR sensor based on phase modulation uses the sensitivity of the phase difference reflected by the TM and TE waves at the interface of the metal medium to the refractive index, and measures the phase difference through light interference, and the sensitivity can reach 2×10 -7 RIU (Wu, Chien-Ming, et al. High-sensitivity sensor based on surface plasmon resonance and heterodyne interferometry. Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical 92.1 (2003): 133-136), but the interference detection optical path adopted is complicated, and shockproof, isolation Vibration to avoid the interference of environmental noise, so it is difficult to be widely used, and the sensitivity is difficult to further improve
[0004] In summary, the sensitivity of SPR sensors based on the macroscopic optical properties of materials has been difficult to improve. In order to further improve the sensitivity of SPR sensors, it is necessary to break the understanding of traditional optical phenomena and explore the optical intrinsic characteristics that are not sensitive to environmental noise and technical noise. , and based on this, a new type of high-sensitivity SPR sensor was developed to achieve accurate measurement of weak changes in the refractive index

The weak value amplification characteristic of quantum weak measurement is used to further increase the sensitivity of the refractive index sensor compared to the existing one. Some SPR sensors are improved by at least two orders of magnitude, and can be applied to the high-sensitivity detection of real-time, label-free weak molecular interaction processes in the fields of biology, chemistry, and food safety. Background technique [0002] Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is an optical resonance phenomenon that occurs on the surface of a metal / dielectric in the nanoscale range. It is extremely sensitive to changes in the cut-off refractive index of the metal film surface, so it is used to develop various highly sensitive refractive indic...
