Fig. 7From: Current achievements of nanoparticle applications in developing optical sensing and imaging techniques a Schematic of a surface plasmon resonance sensing configuration with a gold nanostructured grating and gold nanoparticles. b Resonance angle shift and sensitivity enhancement factor (SEF) measured under various conditions. The co-localization and it-based plasmonic enhancements provided 300-fold improvements of the sensitivity.
