Multimode Optical Fiber Sensor Modified With Gold Nanorod Arrays
This letter presents the design and fabrication of a multimode fiber sensor, enhanced with a gold nanorod (GNR) array to improve its refractive index sensitivity. The cladding is etched with hydrofluoric acid (HF) to allow light leakage from the core, followed by magnetron sputtering of a 40 nm thick silver film onto the fiber surface. Subsequently, a GNR array, prepared using the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template method, is transferred onto the silver film. Compared to sensors with only a silver film on the fiber, the sensor with the GNR array exhibited a 31.85% increase in refractive index sensitivity. Furthermore, the GNR on the sensor was coated with the humidity-sensitive material polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to measure environmental relative humidity. The results indicate that the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak wavelength shift has a strong linear correlation with relative humidity within the range of 30-80% RH, achieving a sensitivity of 0.431 nm/%RH.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Photonics Technology Letters addresses all aspects of the IEEE Photonics Society Constitutional Field of Interest with emphasis on photonic/lightwave components and applications, laser physics and systems and laser/electro-optics technology. Examples of subject areas for the above areas of concentration are integrated optic and optoelectronic devices, high-power laser arrays (e.g. diode, CO2), free electron lasers, solid, state lasers, laser materials'' interactions and femtosecond laser techniques. The letters journal publishes engineering, applied physics and physics oriented papers. Emphasis is on rapid publication of timely manuscripts. A goal is to provide a focal point of quality engineering-oriented papers in the electro-optics field not found in other rapid-publication journals.
