Abstract
This work presents the experimental demonstration of lossy mode resonance generation by means of aluminum doped zinc oxide thin-films. The use of such material may allow to optimize the performance of LMR-based sensors, obtaining good sensitivity at lower costs than other overlays, such as those including indium. The refractometric response of the fabricated devices is explored in different spectral regions. One refractometer working in the near infrared region was fabricated, obtaining a sensitivity of 2280 nm/RIU. A second refractometer working in the visible light spectrum was also fabricated. This second device allows to observe rough refractive index variations with the naked eye as a change of the color of the light propagating through the fiber, simplifying the setup needed for its use.
