A theoretical design of evanescent wave biosensors based on gate-controlled graphene surface plasmon resonance

Abstract A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on gate-controlled periodic graphene ribbons array is reported. Different from the conventional methods by monitoring reflectivity variations with respect to incident angle or wavelength, this approach measures the change in SPR curve against t...
