Highly sensitive, localized surface plasmon resonance fiber device for environmental sensing, based upon a structured bi-metal array of nano-wires

Abstract: We demonstrate a bi-metal coated (platinum and gold or silver), localized surface plasmon resonance fiber sensor with an index sensitivity exceeding 11,900 nm/RIU, yielding an index resolution of 2×10⁻⁵ in the aqueous index regime. This is one of the highest index sensitivities achieved with an optical fiber sensor. The coatings consist of arrays of bi-metal nano-wires (typically 36 nm in radius and 20 μm in length), supported by a silicon dioxide thin film on a thin substrate of germanium, the nano-wires bein… Show more

“…Note this class of devices can be tailored for refractive index spectral sensitivity in different refractive index regimes by altering the structure, such as using different thicknesses of gold or silver as the metal overlay or changing the thickness of the other sub layers in the multi-layered coating 14 , 22 , 31 or changing the UV processing conditions 22 .…”

“…Miniaturized active devices operated in liquid media are an attractive venue for localized sensing, potentially offering precise, low-cost, rapid, and sensitive environmental detection. Various approaches include optical-fiber [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ], micro-mechanical [ 6 , 7 , 8 ], and plasmonic-nanowire [ 9 ] based environmental sensing in aqueous media. In particular, micro-structured fiber-optic transmission devices used as optics sensors offer comparative advantages over the alternative approaches (see, e.g., a recent review and references therein [ 1 ]).…”
