Abstract
The current study presents a portable transmission system to observe the LSPR phenomenon that extracts the peak location employing a discrete number of light sources. The peak location extraction is performed by an algorithm that takes into account the spectral characteristics of all the components. The performance of our LSPR measurement system has been characterized on a set of Fluorinated Tin Oxide-coated slides covered with nanoislands with a diameter of approximately 30Â nm. The samples have been modified with a single-stranded DNA layer and the plasmonic peak location has been determined before and after surface treatment. The samples have been characterized in parallel with a high-end spectrophotometer. The results presented demonstrated the performance of our measurement system in determining the peak location with 1Â nm precision.
