Abstract

A surface plasmon resonance device includes a metal thin film, a dielectric thin film on an optical member and, in addition, an electro-optically active thin film either between the metal thin film and the dielectric thin film or between the optical member and the metal thin film. The electro-optically active thin film is subject to a voltage which is varied to tune the resonance condition of the device.
