Toward in situ detection of algae species

Abstract

For the last few years there is a more and more pressing need to develop system for detecting HAB at their early stage. Researchers have then been working on new in situ sensor. In this paper a submarine transducer based on surface plasmon resonance is reported. It demonstrated a refractive index resolution of 3.10 -6 , which is promising for later phytoplankton detection.
