Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an interfacial phenomenon, and the plasmonic sensors are based on the optical excitation of the collective oscillations of free electrons at a metal-dielectric interface. Here, we present the new development of an incoherent broadband (IBB)-SPR probe combining the wavelength interrogation technique with polarization-multiplexing (PM). The performance characteristics of the so-called PMIBB-SPR strategy was validated for the detection of nonenzymatic aqueous urea samples as a representative example for plasmonic sensing with an excellent wavelength and phase sensitivities of 0.1363 nm/mM and 10.34597 mM/deg, respectively. We further explored the missing link between plasmonic polariton resonance (PPR) and polarization modulation via the measurements of the Stokes parameters of the reflected light. This deepens our understanding of the fundamentals of polarization-multiplexed SPR phenomenon at the interface. This study thus paves the way to develop a new-generation analytical technique with the aim of tracking various real-time chemical and biological molecular interactions occurring at the interfaces.
