  • Patent number: 11467154
    Abstract: An optical nano-biosensing system and a method thereof are provided. The optical nano-biosensing system includes a nano-plasmonic sensing device, a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter, a signal acquisition and processing device, and an intelligent electronic device. The nano-plasmonic sensing device further includes a light-source control circuit, a sample receiver, a light detector, and a signal-amplifying circuit. The sample receiver receives a sample. The light-source control circuit generates an incident light from a light source to be projected onto the sample receiver. The light detector detects an emergent light from the sample receiver to generate a detection signal. The signal-amplifying circuit converts the detection signal to generate an amplified signal. The high-resolution analog-to-digital converter digitizes the amplified signal to generate a digital signal.
