Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor Based on Microstructured Optical Fiber With Ring-Core Configuration

Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor Based on Microstructured Optical Fiber With Ring-Core Configuration

A novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on ring-core microstructured optical fiber with silver film is presented in this paper. Field leakage from the ring core to the central metal film excites plasmon polaritons. Through numerical simulation with the finite-element method, we found th...
