Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) biosensors utilize the extinction spectra resulting from the interaction between incident light photons and metallic Nano- Particles (NP) to study the variation in the surrounding medium Refractive Index (RI). In this paper, we will discuss the response of the LSPR extinction spectra to the nano-sphere and nano-rod NP geometries of differing dimensions. We will also discuss the response of the LSPR extinction spectra to variations in the Refraction Index (RI) of the medium surrounding the metallic NP. Also, we will explain the sensitivity, Detection Accuracy (DA) and Figure of Merit (FoM) performance parameters for LSPR sensors. We will also compare the sphere and Rod NP geometries.
