Fiber Optic Based Evanescent Wave Sensor for the Detection of Elemental Mercury Utilizing Gold Nanorods

Crosby J.S., Lucas D., Koshland C.P., University of California-Berkeley, US

We have developed a fiber optic based sensor for the detection of atmospheric elemental mercury that uses gold nanoparticles as the sensing medium. Previous work has established that the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Peak blue-shifts [...]
