In Chap. 1 by J. Homola of this volume [1] surface plasmons were introduced as modes of dielectric/metal planar waveguides and their properties were established. It was demonstrated that the propagation constant of a surface plasmon is sensitive to variations in the refractive index at the surface of a metal film supporting the surface plasmon. In this chapter, it is shown how this phenomenon can be used to create a sensing device. The concept of optical sensors based on surface plasmons, commonly referred as to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors, is described and the main approaches to SPR sensing are presented. In addition, the concept of affinity biosensors is introduced and the main performance characteristics of SPR biosensors are defined.
