We realize and experimentally characterize a novel platform for surface-enhanced sensing through Bloch Surface Waves (BSWs). We test a one-dimensional photonic crystal, with a high index inclusion in the top layer, that sustains surfaces modes with, in principle, arbitrary polarization. This is achieved through the coherent superposition of TE and TM dispersion relations of BSWs, which can also provide superchiral fields over a wide spectral range (down to the UV). The resulting platform paves the way to the implementation of polarization-resolved surface-enhanced techniques.
