Abstract: An apparatus for detecting surface plasmon resonance (SPR) comprises a light source, a light-coupling unit, a phase-resolving module, and a data-processing unit. The light source provides a light beam emitting into a surface of a metal film to generate surface plasmon resonance. The phase-resolving module is configured to split the reflection light of the light beam on the surface of the metal film into a first light, a second light, a third light, and a fourth light, and to detect the intensities of the lights simultaneously. The phases of the first light and second light differentiate by 90 degrees, and the phases of the third light and fourth light differentiate by 90 degrees. The data-processing unit calculates the phase variation of the surface plasmon resonance on the metal film based on the intensities of the first light, second light, third light, and fourth light.

Abstract: This invention relates to a scanning ultrasound detection device using two-wave mixing in photorefractive crystal interferometry. An interferometer with two-wave mixing in photorefractive crystal, and cooperates with a confocal lenses module to perform a scan and inspection of the surface of a target. A rotating unit is used for directing a signal beam for detection to be incident upon different locations of the target. The confocal lens module is used to compensate any changes of reflection path caused by the signal beam having different incident angles. Hence, a reflected signal beam and a reference beam can strike on a photo detector.
