With the huge advances in plasmonics in various applications including solar cells, imaging, photocatalysis, biosensors, ..etc, there is still a lack of commercialized applications for this advanced technology. What do you think is the main challenge hindering plasmonics technology from being commercialized?
There is when we talk about SPR/LSPR biosensors. See e.g. https://www.sprpages.nl/instruments
As far as I know, gold nanoparticles are now used as colorometric indicators in pregnancy tests.
Thank you Thomas Mayerhöfer and Hugh J Byrne for your answers. I am not surprised that some of plasmonic bio sensing applications are already having commercialized products.
Do you think there is a gap between the university and the industry when it comes to Plasmonics research?
Dear Mohammed A. Ibrahem ,
You can explore the following link

Although, I am a novice in this field.
But, you will be surprised to know that SPR devices was first commercially produced in 1990 by Biacore AB Corporation on bio-medical sensing (29 years ago).
