In 1980\, Pharmacia became interested in SP R and began investigating the possibilities of the technique and in 1984\, founded the company Pharmacia Biosensor AB. SPR based sensors are expecte d to reach in 2025 a business of far more than 1 billion dollars.\n\nMore recently\, LMR technique has emerged as an alternative platform to SPR. Al though both SPRs and LMRs were theoretically already known\, unlike SPR-ba sed sensors\, it was not until 2009 that the first LMR-based sensor was pu blished. Taking into account the increasing number of research groups all around the world that are working on this LMR technology\, high impact res ults will be very likely obtain due to the extremely high sensitivity of t he sensors and devices developed as well as its enormous simplicity and lo w cost. The number of articles published on LMR increases year after year. There are also currently a number of initiatives to create companies usin g this technology.\n\nFinally\, a work has just been published using surfa ce exciton polariton resonances (SEPR) that completes the trilogy of optic al resonances that are based on a substrate and a thin-film that generates the resonances and the sample to be analysed. The requirements of the mat erials to generate the respective resonances in the three mentioned cases (SPR\, LMR and SEPR) are different but their final applications and modus operandi are similar.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Prof. Subhas Mukhopadhyay\n\nSpe aker(s): Prof. Ignacio Marias\, \n\nRoom: 100 Theatreate\, Bldg: 14SCO\, M acquarie University\, Sydney\, New South Wales\, Australia\, 2109 LOCATION:Room: 100 Theatreate\, Bldg: 14SCO\, Macquarie University\, Sydney \, New South Wales\, Australia\, 2109 ORGANIZER:Subhas.Mukhopadhyay@mq.edu.au SEQUENCE:4 SUMMARY:Optical resonances based-sensors in planar configuration URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/327533 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Abstract: </strong>The two most us ed optical resonances for the fabrication of sensors are those based on su rface plasmons (SPR) and those based on lossy modes (LMR).</p>\n<p>In the late sixties\, optical excitation of surface plasmons by means of attenuat ed total reflection was demonstrated by Kretschmann and Raether and Otto.
