In recent times, prevalence of diabetes mellitus among people has become alarming and often life-threatening. In this regard, efficient sensors with high sensitivity are extremely necessary for monitoring and quantification of glucose level in the urine samples. A self-referenced surface plasmon polariton sensor using trapezoidal TiO<sub>2</sub> grating on thin Au film has been proposed here to detect glucose level in urine samples for the first time. The proposed sensor has been optimized for better sensitivity and can be operated in the optical communication band which can help to achieve existing mature light sources and light detection instruments. The sensor has been designed with a thin dielectric grating on top of thin metal film resulting in generation of two surface plasmons at the two boundaries of the metal film. This technique is fascinating to improve the accuracy of sensitivity of the device and helps to eliminate cross-sensitivity problem. As a result, this type of self-referenced biosensor can be used for a wide range of applications in fields such as biochemistry, biophysics, and environmental monitoring. The proposed sensor shows a higher sensitivity compared to that of other plasmonic sensors reported in recent times due to incorporation of trapezoidal-shaped grating structure for the first time instead of rectangular shape.

This work demonstrated the characteristics of a colloidal solution containing CuO@ZnO NP core–shell deposited onto Si substrates using the drop-casting process. The TEM, SEM, XRD, and UV–vis spectroscopy techniques were used to investigate the morphological, shape, optical, and structural characteristics of the synthesized CuO@ZnO NP core–shell. The XRD analysis reveals that the CuO@ZnO NP core–shell has sizes ranging from 30 to 93 nm approximately. The nanoparticle core–shell exhibited a combination of spherical and irregular shapes with sizes ranging from 30 to 90 nm. The nanoparticle size appeared to be influenced by the variation in laser pulse energy, as evidenced in SEM pictures. The TEM pictures reveal that the core–shell nanoparticles exhibit a particle size distribution with average sizes of 19, 70, and 30 nm for the nanoparticles produced using laser pulses with energy levels of 900, 700, and 500 mJ, respectively. The TEM pictures also exhibit a dark central region of CuO NPs and a comparatively lighter outside region of the ZnO nanoshell, thereby verifying its core–shell structure. Alteration of the laser energy resulted in a noticeable change in the optical energy band gap in the generated samples. The results of the UV–vis test suggested that a change in the energy of the laser pulse caused a change in the energy gap that ranges from 2.6 to 3 eV. The dye degradation capability of CuO@ZnO NP core–shell has been evaluated using methylene blue (MB), an organic dye. The results indicate that all samples exhibited successful degradation using CuO@ZnO NP core–shell with differentiated activity levels. The blue color of the methylene blue solution vanished within 120 min of exposure to illumination when the CuO@ZnO nanoparticles, generated with a laser energy of 900 mJ, were present.

FO-SPR sensor modeling is essential in understanding the underlying processes that induce such RI changes. Despite two types of rays, i.e., skew and meridional rays, an FO-SPR model has been developed in the literature that only considers meridional rays. This meridional model has proven its applicability in several publications using pass-through FO-SPR sensors. However, this simplified FO-SPR model fails to simulate back-reflecting FO-SPR sensors properly, where diffuse light is delivered and collected at the same optical fiber end. Here, it is shown that a generalized FO-SPR model that includes skew rays more accurately simulates the spectra obtained in back-reflecting FO-SPR sensors. With the changing incidence plane of a skew ray in mind, the generalized FO-SPR model was built with three-dimensional polarization ray-tracing calculus. The necessary angular ray distribution of the back-reflecting FO-SPR sensor was acquired by a Monte Carlo three-dimensional ray-tracing simulation. Next, the effect of including optical components and deviations and model optimization by adjusting the gold relative permittivity and thickness was evaluated. The generalized model simulated FO-SPR absorbances with smaller widths than the experimental FO-SPR absorbances. The cause of this difference in absorbance is unclear and demands more research. Nevertheless, the skew ray incorporation in the generalized FO-SPR model enabled its application to a greater diversity of FO-SPR sensors compared to the simplified FO-SPR model both as a predictive and an analytic tool in the development of FO-SPR sensors.</p>","PeriodicalId":736,"journal":{"name":"Plasmonics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142213477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
