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.

Magneto-optic surface plasmon resonance (MOSPR) based sensors are highly attractive as next generation biosensors. However, these sensors suffer from oxidation leading to degradation of performance, reproducibility of the sensor surface because of the difficulty of removing adsorbed materials, and degradation of sensor surface during surface cleaning, and these limit their applications. In this paper, I propose MOSPR-based biosensors with 0 to 15 nm thick inert polycarbonate laminate plastic as a protective layer and theoretically demonstrate the practicability of our approach in water-medium for three different probing samples: ethanol, propanol, and pentanol. I also investigate microstructure and magnetic properties. The chemical composition and layered information of the sensor are investigated using X-ray reflectivity and X-ray diffraction analyses and these show distinct fcc-Au (111) phases, as dominated by the higher density of conduction electrons in Au as compared to Co. The magnetic characterization measured with the in-plane magnetic field to the sensor surface for both the as-deposited and annealed multilayers showed isotropic easy axis magnetization parallel to the multilayer interface at a saturating magnetic field of <100 Oe. The sensor showed a maximum sensitivity of 5.5 × 104%/RIU for water-ethanol media and the highest detection level of 2.5 × 10−8 for water-pentanol media as the protective layer is increased from 0 to 15 nm.c

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.
