Abstract
This paper investigates the impact of environmental changes on silver nanoparticles (AgNp) immobilized sensor probe within strong and weak plasmonic coupling regimes. To monitor these interaction regimes, evanescent wave absorption based on fiber optic and attenuated total reflection techniques have been employed. In the weak coupling regime, variations in refractive index (RI) primarily affect intensity rather than wavelength. Conversely, in the strong coupling regime, intensity decreases, while wavelength sensitivity increases with changes in RI. Our findings qualitatively agree with a theoretical framework based on the discrete dipole approximation (DDA) for two-particle interacting systems, providing valuable insights for optimizing plasmonic interactions to enhance sensitivity. This information will aid the scientific and industrial community in understanding the plasmonic interaction region for maximizing sensitivity of Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) based photonic devices.
期刊介绍：
Innovations in optical fiber technology are revolutionizing world communications. Newly developed fiber amplifiers allow for direct transmission of high-speed signals over transcontinental distances without the need for electronic regeneration. Optical fibers find new applications in data processing. The impact of fiber materials, devices, and systems on communications in the coming decades will create an abundance of primary literature and the need for up-to-date reviews.
Optical Fiber Technology: Materials, Devices, and Systems is a new cutting-edge journal designed to fill a need in this rapidly evolving field for speedy publication of regular length papers. Both theoretical and experimental papers on fiber materials, devices, and system performance evaluation and measurements are eligible, with emphasis on practical applications.
