Microstructured and Photonic Bandgap Fibers for Applications in the Resonant Bio- and Chemical Sensors
Figure 10
Sensitivity of the honeycomb photonic crystal fiber-based SPR sensor. (a) The solid curve shows loss of the fundamental core mode near the degenerate phase matching point with two plasmonic modes and . Due to degeneracy, only one peak is distinguishable in the loss curve. Dashed line shows splitting of the degeneracy in plasmonic modes when the analyte refractive index is changed to . (b) Dependence of the sensor amplitude sensitivity on wavelength.
