Abstract
Here we introduce a high sensitive side-polished fiber optic based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor for refractometry in liquids for 1.32–1.37 Refractive Index Unit (RIU). In fabrication, a Controllable Hybrid Polishing Method (CHPM) was used to make high quality D-shaped fibers. For characterization, a super continuum (SC) light source was used in the measurement setup. The sensor has a spectral sensitivity of 5200nm/RIU with a Limit of Detection (LOD) of 5.8×10−6 RIU. Also, we have demonstrated that by reducing the intensity noise in our light source, a Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 12.6dB and a Limit of Detection (LOD) of 3.7×10−6 RIU is achievable in an intensiometric approach.
