This work has been partially supported by project SPRINT (CTQ2009-10550) of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Innovation.A review of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) transducers based on tapered fibers that have been developed in the last years is presented. The devices have proved their good performance (specifically, in terms of sensitivity) and their versatility and they are a very good option to be considered as basis for any kind of chemical and biological sensor. The technology has now reached its maturity and here we summarize some of the characteristics of the devices produced.engAtribución 3.0 Españahttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/journal articlehttp://dx.doi.org/10.3390/s140304791http://www.mdpi.com/open access535Resonance sensorsÓptica (Física)2209.19 Óptica Física
