    This paper provides a theoretical framework to analyze and quantify roughness effects on sensing performance parameters of surface plasmon resonance measurements. Rigorous coupled-wave analysis and the Monte Carlo method were applied to compute plasmonic reflectance spectra for different surface roughness profiles. The rough surfaces were generated using the low pass frequency filtering method. Different coating and surface treatments and their reported root‐mean-square roughness in the literature were extracted and investigated in this study to calculate the refractive index sensing performance parameters, including sensitivity, full width at half maximum, plasmonic dip intensity, plasmonic dip position, and figure of merit. Here, we propose a figure‐of-merit equation considering optical intensity contrast and signal‐to‐noise ratio. The proposed figure-of‐merit equation could predict a similar refractive index sensing performance compared to experimental results reported in the literature. The surface roughness height strongly affected all the performance parameters, resulting in a degraded figure of merit for surface plasmon resonance measurement.

    Surface plasmon microscopy has been of interest to the science and engineering commu-nity and has been utilized in broad aspects of applications and studies, including biochemical sensing and biomolecular binding kinetics. The benefits of surface plasmon microscopy include label‐free detec-tion, high sensitivity, and quantitative measurements. Here, a theoretical framework to analyze and com-pare several non‐interferometric surface plasmon microscopes is proposed. The scope of the study is to (1) identify the strengths and weaknesses in each surface plasmon microscopes reported in the literature; (2) quantify their performance in terms of spatial imaging resolution, imaging contrast, sensitivity, and measurement accuracy for quantitative and non‐quantitative imaging modes of the microscopes. Six types of non‐interferometric microscopes were included in this study: annulus aperture scanning, half annulus aperture scanning, single‐point scanning, double‐point scanning, single‐point scanning, at 45 degrees azimuthal angle, and double‐point scanning at 45 degrees azimuthal angle. For non‐quantitative imaging, there is a substantial tradeoff between the image contrast and the spatial resolution. For the quantitative imaging, the half annulus aperture provided the highest sensitivity of 127.058 rad/μm<sup>2</sup> RIU<sup>−1</sup>, followed by the full annulus aperture of 126.318 rad/μm<sup>2</sup> RIU<sup>−1</sup>. There is a clear tradeoff between spatial resolution and sensitivity. The annulus aperture and half annulus aperture had an optimal resolution, sensitivity, and crosstalk compared to the other non‐interferometric surface plasmon resonance micro-scopes. The resolution depends strongly on the propagation length of the surface plasmons rather than the numerical aperture of the objective lens. For imaging and sensing purposes, the recommended mi-crofluidic channel size and protein stamping size for surface plasmon resonance experiments is at least 25 μm for accurate plasmonic measurements.
