In this paper, we introduce a novel method for the fabrication of self-assembly plasmonic metamaterials by exploiting fluid instabilities of optical thin films. Due to interplay between template reflow and spinodal dewetting, two metal nanoparticles of different sizes are generated on the top mesas of free-standing porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template, which results in the apprearance of double resonant peaks in the extinction spectrum. These two resonant peaks possess refractive index resolution 3.27 × 10-4 and 2.53 × 10-4 RIU, respectively. This optical intensity modulation based plasmonic nanoplatform shows a dramatically surface sensing performance with outstanding detection capacity of biomolecules, because of the very small decay length of electric field at dual-modes. The detection ability for concanavalin A (Con A) demonstrats that the limit of detection of dual-modes reaches as small as 68 and 79 nM, respectively.
