Abstract
We experimentally demonstrated a high sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor with silver rectangular grating coupling. The reflection spectra of the silver gratings indicated that surface plasmon resonance can be excited by either positive or negative order diffraction of the grating, depending on the period of the gratings. Comparing to prism-coupled SPR sensor, the sensitivities are higher for negative order diffraction coupling in bigger coupling angle, but much smaller for positive order diffraction coupling of the gratings. High sensitivity of 254.13 degree/RIU is experimentally realized by grating-based SPR sensor in the negative diffraction excitation mode. Our work paves the way for compact and sensitive SPR sensor in the applications of biochemical and gas sensing.
