Abstract A novel high sensitivity relative humidity (RH) sensor was proposed by using micro structure plastic optical fiber (POF) based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and the evanescent wave (EW) loss. The micro structure was fabricated on the POF and coated with a gold layer and agarose, adopting the sputtering and dip-coating technique. These construction effects on the attenuation of power caused by the SPR effect and the EW loss were used to perform RH detections. The agarose’s different refractive indexes (RIs) caused fluctuations in the transmission power when the humidity increased. The demonstrated experimental results showed that the proposed sensor achieved a linear response from 20% RH to 80% RH with a high sensitivity of 0.595µW/%. The proposed sensor had the advantages of fast response and recovery. Furthermore, the temperature dependence and the repeatability test of the sensor were also performed.

In this work, a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) temperature sensor based on a con-joined-tubular anti-resonance optical fiber (CTF) was theoretically designed and analyzed using the finite element method. The CTF cladding was composed of eight pairs of conjoined tubes, and one or two holes of the tubes were selectively coated with gold to generate the SPR effect. Alcohol was injected into the core of the CTF to work as the sensing medium using vapor deposition. The proposed sensing structure exhibited excellent birefringence and produced more than six resonant peaks in different wavebands of the X and Y polarization. The positions of those resonant peaks were sensitive to temperature change, and the simulated sensitivity was about 3.2–3.6 nm/°C. The multiple working wavebands of the proposed sensing structure could be used for self-verification. Moreover, the influence of structural parameters on sensing performance was analyzed in detail. Possessing features of high sensitivity, good birefringence, multiple measuring wavebands, and self-verification, the proposed CTF-based SPR sensor has great potential in practical applications such as biological research and chemical sensing.

A TiN-based substrate with high reusability presented high-sensitivity refractive index measurements in a home-built surface plasmon resonance (SPR) heterodyne phase interrogation system. TiN layers with and without additional inclined-deposited TiN (i-TiN) layers on glass substrates reached high bulk charge carrier densities of 1.28 × 1022 and 1.91 × 1022 cm−3, respectively. The additional 1.4 nm i-TiN layer of the nanorod array presented a detection limit of 6.1 × 10−7 RIU and was higher than that of the 46 nm TiN layer at 1.2 × 10−6 RIU when measuring the refractive index of a glucose solution. Furthermore, the long-term durability of the TiN-based substrate demonstrated by multiple processing experiments presented a high potential for various practical sensing applications.

Spr Effect

We report on a highly sensitive measurement of the relative humidity (RH) of moist air using both the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and Bloch surface wave resonance (BSWR). Both resonances are resolved in the Kretschmann configuration when the wavelength interrogation method is utilized. The SPR is revealed for a multilayer plasmonic structure of SF10/Cr/Au, while the BSWR is resolved for a multilayer dielectric structure (MDS) comprising four bilayers of TiO2/SiO2 with a rough termination layer of TiO2. The SPR effect is manifested by a dip in the reflectance of a p-polarized wave, and a shift of the dip with the change in the RH, or equivalently with the change in the refractive index of moist air is revealed, giving a sensitivity in a range of 0.042–0.072 nm/%RH. The BSWR effect is manifested by a dip in the reflectance of the spectral interference of s- and p-polarized waves, which represents an effective approach in resolving the resonance with maximum depth. For the MDS under study, the BSWRs were resolved within two band gaps, and for moist air we obtained sensitivities of 0.021–0.038 nm/%RH and 0.046–0.065 nm/%RH, respectively. We also revealed that the SPR based RH measurement is with the figure of merit (FOM) up to 4.7 × 10−4 %RH−1, while BSWR based measurements have FOMs as high as 3.0 × 10−3 %RH−1 and 1.1 × 10−3 %RH−1, respectively. The obtained spectral interferometry based results demonstrate that the BSWR based sensor employing the available MDS has a similar sensitivity as the SPR based sensor, but outperforms it in the FOM. BSW based sensors employing dielectrics thus represent an effective alternative with a number of advantages, including better mechanical and chemical stability than metal films used in SPR sensing.
