Plasmonic nanomaterials (P-NM) are receiving attention due to their excellent properties, which include surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effects, plasmonic resonance energy transfer (PRET), and magneto optical (MO) effects. To obtain such plasmonic properties, many nanomaterials have been developed, including metal nanoparticles (MNP), bimetallic nanoparticles (bMNP), MNP-decorated carbon nanotubes, (MNP-CNT), and MNP-modified graphene (MNP-GRP). These P-NMs may eventually be applied to optical biosensing systems due to their unique properties. Here, probe biomolecules, such as antibodies (Ab), probe DNA, and probe aptamers, were modified on the surface of plasmonic materials by chemical conjugation and thiol chemistry. The optical property change in the plasmonic nanomaterials was monitored based on the interaction between the probe biomolecules and target virus. After bioconjugation, several optical properties, including fluorescence, plasmonic absorbance, and diffraction angle, were changed to detect the target biomolecules. This review describes several P-NMs as potential candidates of optical sensing platforms and introduces various applications in the optical biosensing field.

Ovarian cancer survival depends strongly on the time of diagnosis. Detection at stage 1 must be the goal of liquid biopsies for ovarian cancer detection. We report the development and validation of graphene-based optical nanobiosensors (G-NBSs) that quantify the activities of a panel of proteases, which were selected to provide a crowd response that is specific for ovarian cancer.

The magneto-optical device based on a periodic array of metal nanopyramids embedded in a film of Bi:YIG coated on the surface of a silver substrate, is optimized utilizing a computational simulation technique (CST Microwave Studio). Under coupling conditions through the two-dimensional grating, the TM-guided modes with narrow resonance are excited in the Bi:YIG film by the incident light, increasing hence the light-matter interaction. Such coupling results as the dips in the reflectance spectrum.

Designing and synthesizing multishelled metallic hollow nanostructures with intragaps and porous shells have received widespread attention for enhancing optical and catalytic properties. However, significant challenges remain in engineering these structures at the nanometer scale. Herein, we employed the galvanic replacement reaction (GRR) method to prepare multimetallic hollow superstructures with 3D cavities and distinct nanometer intragaps.

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), is one of the most widespread infectious diseases, with nearly 2 billion people infected globally. We present an innovative approach for the real-time detection of TB antigens Mpt64 and Ag85B using DNA aptamers in combination with a graphene oxide (GO)-assisted optical microfiber super-sensor. The high surface-to-volume ratio and superior properties of the GO layer significantly enhance the microfiber's fixation capabilities.
