Surface plasmon fluorescence s pectroscopy (SPFS) [1-3] and surface plasmon diffraction spectroscopy (SPDS) [4-6] are two recently developed high performance sensing techniques. For SPFS, the surface plasmon field enhancement in combination with a three-dimensionally extended surface function matrix (CM5, Biacore) ensures an atto-molar (10-18 M) sensitivity in detecting fluorescently labelled antibodies. [1] In a complementary way, SPDS offers label-free sensing with highly improved performance in comparison with the conventional surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy (SPR). The promising future of both techniques is strongly demonstrated by abundant examples in DNA assay, (clinical) immunoassay and nano¬particle analysis.R
