Abstract :
Label-free biomolecular sensing is by far the most common and successful application area in the emerging field of nanoplasmonics. This review paper highlights the latest progress and achievements made in this area. Key aspects of the nanoplasmonic sensor development, including performance enhancement, efforts to increase multiplexing capacity, and the progress in sensor integration and miniaturization, are discussed.
