The incidence of light by the edge of the coverslip permitted the generation of both surface plasmon and lossy mode resonances (SPRs and LMRs) in the same transmission spectrum with a single optical source and detector. This proves the ability of this optical platform to be used as a benchmark for comparing different optical phenomena generated by both metal and dielectric materials, which can be used to progress in the assessment of different sensing technologies. Here the SPR and the LMR were compared in terms of sensitivity to refractive index and figure of merit (FoM), at the same time it was demonstrated that both resonances can operate independently when silver and ITO coated regions are surrounded by different refractive index liquids. The results were supported with numerical results that confirm the experimental ones.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22041505","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,2,15]],"date-time":"2022-02-15T22:44:47Z","timestamp":1644965087000},"page":"1505","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Simultaneous Generation of Surface Plasmon and Lossy Mode Resonances in the Same Planar Platform"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"O.","family":"Fuentes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering Department, Public University of Navarra, 31006 Pamplona, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Telecommunications and Electronics, Pinar del R\u00edo University, Pinar del R\u00edo 20100, Cuba"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8130-4035","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"I.","family":"Del Villar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering Department, Public University of Navarra, 31006 Pamplona, Spain"},{"name":"Institute of Smart Cities (ISC), Public University of Navarra, 31006 Pamplona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.","family":"Dominguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering Department, Public University of Navarra, 31006 Pamplona, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1298-5700","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"J.
