Atheoretical study on a novel planar waveguide surface Plasmon Biosensoris presented in this paper. The proposed biosensor has aconfiguration similar to the Otto excitation mechanism for surface Plasmonpolaritons. The performance of the device with respect to keysystem parameters such as gap - width and device lengthis investigated using an eigenmode solver with perfectly matched layers(PML). Device resolution of 2.3×10^-6RIU has been demonstrated for anaqueous analyte. ©2009 Optical Society of America
