TL;DR
Can someone please explain to me SPR in detail and mathrmatics of it if any. I have a basic idea that it is something like photoelectric effect but instead of electron a photonof different wavelength is shot off because some of the energy is absorbed by the material. Am i correct ? Please help .Thank you.
Diagram of surface plasmon resonance: a light source sends a red beam through a prism onto a metal surface coated with dextran and conjugated ligands, exciting a plasmon wave; reflected and absorbed light go to a detector with a flow cell.
