Schematic of a surface plasmon resonance biosensor (Kretchmann configuration). Light reflected from a prism induces an evanescent field in both the metal and dielectric (biological) layer, with the field being greater in the latter. Light is then reflected out of the prism and a detector records the angle at which resonance is satisfied.
