Abstract
A novel first-order optical sensor using surface plasmon resonance in a planar light pipe is introduced. The phenomenon of discrete angular bands of light in high-numerical-aperture light pipes is discussed, an d the operating theory of the sensor is explained. The fabrication of two different prototype sensor configurations is presented. The operat ing theory of the sensors is verified by comparing experimental result s with theoretical predictions of sensor performance.
