The sensing properties arise from the surface plasmon resonances (SPR) at the interface between the fiber core and the conducting slab. The sensor can reach an average sensitivity of 2815 nm/RIU for the case without graphene and 4061.8 nm/RIU when the graphene film is deposited on the top of the gold layer, allowing a resolution of 2.46x10-5 RIU for an optical spectrum analyzer with resolution of 0.1 nm.
