Technology Overview

  LSPR Technology

LSPR (Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance)  is a form of SPR generated by noble metal nanostructures.  The technology utilizes white light to activate the LSPR film due to the absorption of the yellow-orange components of the light.  The remaining light is then reflecting back from the surface with a burgundy color.  This reflectivity spectrum of the LSPR film is then measured via spectroscopy.  On the other hand, planar gold reflects over a range of green to red, without absorption (Figure 1).
