title = "A hybrid plasmonic whispering gallery mode sensor for single bionanoparticle detection",
abstract = "Our hybrid plasmonic whispering gallery mode biosensor has recently demonstrated detection and characterization of the smallest known RNA virus. A gold nanoparticle affixed to the resonator surface acts like a nanoscopic antenna, enhancing locally the electric field within the cavity mode. When a target analyte binds with this nanoscopic antenna the result is an enhanced response (spectral shift) of the resonator system to the binding event. We have observed shift enhancements ∼70× over the response of the bare resonator, thereby permitting the detection and characterization of all known viral particles and even some large protein molecules.",
