Sensitivity enhancement of a graphene, zinc sulfide-based surface plasmon resonance biosensor with an Ag metal configuration in the visible region

Abstract: A biosensor based on the modified Kretschmann configuration is proposed here. The sensitivity of the conventional prism-based sensor using angular interrogation is low. To enhance the sensor's performance, layers of zinc sulfide (ZnS) and graphene have been deposited over the metal layer. The angular interrogation technique is used to analyze the performance of the sensor. The thickness of the Ag metal has been optimized. The thickness of the Ag metal is taken as 50 nm because minimum reflectance has been achi… Show more

“…[11,12] Due to its ease of implementation, the former design is fairly common. [13,14] The effectiveness of SPR sensors is considerably diminished to the oxidation issue with metals. To lessen this issue, multilayered structured designs are frequently employed in design [15,16] This stack of many layers is carried out the enhancement of sensor sensitivity.…”

“…This EWV decays exponentially across the interface. The SP generating at the interface of metal and dielectric have the wave vector 'Kx' known as surface plasmon wave vector (SPWV) [12]. The principle followed by the optical input wave is called attenuated total reflection (ATR) [13].…”

“…Its unique features, like greater bio-molecular absorption rate, in biosensor applications, give better sensitivity than gold metal. The prime disadvantage of using a single layer of Ag over prism is its susceptibility to oxidation [12]. This problem can be reduced using another material layer, further enhancing biomolecular adsorption.…”
