Abstract
By adjusting composite films with different refractive indices, the coupling conditions of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) can be precisely controlled, thereby inducing a controllable redshift in the sensing bandwidth of the sensor. This feature provides a reliable means for effectively separating the dual-channel sensing bandwidths. In this study, we propose a sensor modulated by composite films for the simultaneous and independent measurement of refractive index (RI) and temperature. The RI sensing channel is realized by depositing Ag/MgF2 films onto the surface of the no-core fiber (NCF), while the temperature sensing channel is implemented by coating the NCF with the Ag/MoS2/ polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films. Experimental results show that the sensor achieves a maximum sensitivity of 7300 nm/RIU in the RI range of 1.33–1.39, and a maximum sensitivity within the temperature range of 30–100 ℃ can reach 4.4 nm/℃. The sensing bandwidth are effectively separated around 800 nm. Through rational design of the film structure, this study provides a feasible solution for achieving high-performance multi-parameter sensing.
期刊介绍:
Plasmonics is an international forum for the publication of peer-reviewed leading-edge original articles that both advance and report our knowledge base and practice of the interactions of free-metal electrons, Plasmons.
Topics covered include notable advances in the theory, Physics, and applications of surface plasmons in metals, to the rapidly emerging areas of nanotechnology, biophotonics, sensing, biochemistry and medicine. Topics, including the theory, synthesis and optical properties of noble metal nanostructures, patterned surfaces or materials, continuous or grated surfaces, devices, or wires for their multifarious applications are particularly welcome. Typical applications might include but are not limited to, surface enhanced spectroscopic properties, such as Raman scattering or fluorescence, as well developments in techniques such as surface plasmon resonance and near-field scanning optical microscopy.
