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.
