We report on the numerical and experimental study of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) spectroscopy of gold nanoparticles (NPs) structures at the frustrated total internal reflection (LSPR_TIR). The investigated NPs structures were manufactured using two different microfabrication methods: the nano-sphere lithography, and the original one, involving the direct pulse laser writing. The last technology, developed by our research team, provides powerful tools for flexible patterning of the multichannel biochip with array of LSPR probes. The obtained results demonstrate a significant improvement in the LSPR wavelength sensitivity to sample refractive index and, in addition, a relatively efficient conversion of the incident light wave polarization.
