The generation of lossy mode resonances with
absorbing thin-films is analyzed with electromagnetic theory. The
main differences with surface plasmon resonances are presented
and some rules are given towards an optimum design of sensing
devices based on absorbing thin-film coated silica substrates. The
material selected for the absorbing thin-film is ITO, which is
adequate for supporting both surface plasmon resonances and
lossy mode resonances.
