| Abstract: | A multi-layered surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based fiber optic absorption sensor has been studied theoretically. The sensitivity is evaluated for the p-polarized light launched in the fiber using ray approximation. Four-layers configuration is used to excite the surface plasmon wave. The first layer or the medium considered is the core of the fiber. Second and third layers are metallic (silver and gold). The fourth layer or medium is absorbing medium. The effect of the ratio of the thickness of the metallic layers (silver:gold) on the sensitivity of the sensor has been investigated. The sensitivity increases as the silver to gold thickness ratio increases. The gold should be used only to protect silver layer. In addition, the influences of various parameters like numerical aperture (NA), ratio of sensing region length to fiber core diameter, total bimetallic thickness, maximum absorption wavelength, and half maximum width of the sensing medium on the sensitivity of the sensor have b... |
