The present invention provides a sensing method and device based on sensing surface plasmon resonance which can be controlled by the electro-optical modulation. In the case of an integrated-optic device according to the present invention, a voltage is applied on an electro-optical crystal substrate surface with waveguides to modulate the surface plasmon resonance condition on the sensing waveguide. Concentrations of chemicals or bio-chemicals contained in a sample placed on the sensing waveguide can be determined by measuring the dependence of the output light intensity on the applied voltage. Because spectrometer is not needed for measuring the surface plasmon resonance wavelength, drawbacks of conventional integrated-optic surface plasmon resonance sensors, like limited sensitivity, high cost and restrictions on circumstances for measuring, are avoided. The present invention can be applied for real-time dynamic analyses on sample's changes. Therefore, it can be extensively applied in the fields associated with tests of chemical gases and various solutions, pollution monitoring and bio-chips etc.
