We present an idea of grating-based plasmon biosensor utilizing phase detection to realize high resolution in flnding a refractive index of a material put on the surface of a metal grating. Considering a trade-ofi between high resolution and experimental practicability, we show a table of recommended setup that covers a wide range of the index. Keeping the difiraction e-ciency no less than 10 i3 and assuming the resolution in phase detection to be 2:5 £ 10 i2 degrees, we estimate the resolution of the biosensor as 7:5£10 i7 refractive index units. We also discuss the possible improvement to realize a predicted superior limit of resolution around 10 i8 refractive index units.
