In this article, a polyhedron biosensor based on the surface plasmon resonance technology in heterodyne interferometry is proposed. The sensor is designed as the polygon prism that is made of BK-7 glass with the refractive index of 1.51509. As a heterodyne optical source is launched into the biosensor, the phase difference between s-and p-polarization components can be obtained. The related parameters of the tested medium can be achieved after some calculations. The best resolution of the sensor can reach 5.5×10-7 refractive index unit (RIU). The polyhedron biosensor has some merits, e.g., a simple optical setup, easy operation, high measurement accuracy, high resolution, high sensitivity, and in real-time test, etc.

In this paper, a z-axis displacement sensor based on Total-Internal Reflection and Surface Plasmon Resonance in heterodyne interferometry is proposed. The sensing unit is composed of a parallelogram prism, i.e. elongated prism, and a displacement probe. One side surface of the elongated prism was coated with a 2 nm Ti-film and a 45.5 nm Au-film, but the other side surface of that were not coated with metal films. The z-axis displacement sensor is with high sensitivity and resolution due to multiple attenuated total reflections and total internal reflections effects. Besides, we can obtain the results of the experiment in a distant place by uses of the USB data acquisition card (DAQ card) and a ZigBee module. In fact, the displacement resolution of the z-axis displacement meter can reach sub-nanometer by numerical simulation. The small-displacement sensor has some merits, e.g., in real-time test, easy operation, high measurement accuracy, high resolution, etc.

In this article, a small-displacement sensing system based on the surface plasmon resonance technology in heterodyne interferometry is proposed and evaluated. The basic sensing unit is composed of a prism assembly and a displacement probe. The prism assembly consists of a halfwave (λ/2) plate, two right-angle prisms and two rotation stages. The small-displacement sensor is with high sensitivity and resolution due to the attenuated total reflection effect in heterodyne interferometry. Besides, we can obtain the results of the experiment in a distant place by uses of the USB data acquisition card (DAQ card) and a ZigBee module. It can be found that the displacement resolution of the small-displacement sensor can reach 0.155nm by numerical simulation. The small-displacement sensor has some merits, e.g., easy operation, high measurement accuracy, high resolution and rapid measurement, etc.

A TiN-based substrate with high reusability presented high-sensitivity refractive index measurements in a home-built surface plasmon resonance (SPR) heterodyne phase interrogation system. TiN layers with and without additional inclined-deposited TiN (i-TiN) layers on glass substrates reached high bulk charge carrier densities of 1.28 × 1022 and 1.91 × 1022 cm−3, respectively. The additional 1.4 nm i-TiN layer of the nanorod array presented a detection limit of 6.1 × 10−7 RIU and was higher than that of the 46 nm TiN layer at 1.2 × 10−6 RIU when measuring the refractive index of a glucose solution. Furthermore, the long-term durability of the TiN-based substrate demonstrated by multiple processing experiments presented a high potential for various practical sensing applications.
