Abstract
We propose and demonstrate the fiber optic Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) for hydrogen sensing based on Ag/TiO2 at the telecommunications wavelength of 1550 nm . The sensor using TiO2 as a sensitive layer for hydrogen detection consists of a multilayer film of 45 nm Ag/110 nm TiO2 deposited on the coupling prism substrate. An intensity interrogation SPR with Kretschmann configuration is designed, where SPR phenomenon will occur at the interface of the Ag/TiO2 film, and the hydrogen concentration will be detected by measuring the change in the reflected intensity. The sensitivity of the sensor is optimal at an Ag/TiO2 thickness. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the fiber-optic SPR sensor developed provides hydrogen sensing and has a high sensitivity to a hydrogen concentration ranging between 14.7% and 25% Hydrogen in Air, reaching 523nW/%.
