In this editorial, a brief background of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) principle is discussed, followed by several aspects of magneto-optic SPR (MOSPR) and sensing schemes from the viewpoint of fundamental studies and potential technological applications. New sensitivity metrics are introduced that would allow researchers to compare the performance of SPR and MOSPR-based sensors. Merits of MOSPR over SPR based sensors and challenges faced by MOSPR sensors in terms of their practical use and portability are also considered. The editorial ends with potential new configurations and future prospects. This work is considered highly significant to device engineers, graduate and undergraduate students, and researchers of all levels involved in developing new classes of bio-devices for sensing, imaging, environmental monitoring, toxic gas detection, and surveying applications to name a few.

An exciting prospect for the sensing community is the potential of midinfrared fiber sensors. Taking advantage of the design flexibility of photonic crystal fiber and the high excitation loss of gold layers, a high-performance midinfrared D-shaped sensor based on the surface-plasmon-resonance effect was designed and numerically investigated by a mature finite-element tool. Numerical results showed that the designed fiber is especially suitable for sensing. In an operating wavelength ranging from 2.9 to 3.6 μm, maximal wavelength sensitivity of 11,500 nm/refractive index unit (RIU) and a maximal refractive index (RI) resolution of 8.7 × 10−6 RIU were obtained by the wavelength-interrogation method when analyte RI varied from 1.36 to 1.37. Maximal amplitude sensitivity of 230 RIU−1 was obtained by the amplitude-interrogation method with a high linearity of 0.99519 and an adequate figure of merit of 142. Additionally, the sensor had good fabrication tolerance. Our sensor is a promising candidate for environmental monitoring.

Optical biosensors (OB) have wide applications in bio-fields; they are valuable monitoring and detecting tools in therapy, food, defense and military industries. They also applied in environmental monitoring quality (i.e. water, soil and air). In recent years, biosensors have been applied in the early detection of number of diseases such as; alzahimer’s disease and infecting viruses. The OB detection technology is based either on label- based or label-free method. They are composed of integral physical and biological systems, which can provide sensitive analysis for bio-analytes. This chapter will shade the light over the OB principles and their applications with the focus on the surface plasmon resonance.
