Multiple solution solving in plasmon sensing by deep learning: determination of layer refractive index and thickness in one experiment: comment

Abstract

In a recent Letter [Opt. Lett. 46, 5667 (2021)10.1364/OL.444442], Du et al. proposed a deep learning method for determining the refractive index (n) and thickness (d) of the surface layer on nanoparticles in a single-particle plasmon sensing experiment. This comment highlights the methodological issues arising in that Letter.
