Claim Text:
1. A method of forming a graphene-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor, comprising the steps of: depositing graphene onto a substrate, wherein the substrate comprises a dielectric layer on an electrically conductive layer, and wherein the graphene is deposited onto the dielectric layer; doping the graphene with an n-type or p-type dopant; and patterning the graphene into multiple, evenly spaced graphene strips, wherein each of the graphene strips has a width of from about 50 nanometers to about 5 micrometers, and ranges therebetween, and wherein the graphene strips are separated from one another by a distance of from about 5 nanometers to about 50 micrometers, and ranges therebetween.
