Abstract
A coupling enhanced surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on coreless fiber is proposed. Compared with the common fiber, the coreless fiber is easier to perceive the changes of the external medium environment. As one-dimensional material with superior performance, the Au nano biconical particles are used to improve the sensor performance. Based on the finite element method (FEM), the electric field enhancement effect of the coupling between the SPR of the gold film and the Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the Au nano biconical particles on the surface of the coreless fiber is analyzed, and the experimental results show that the Au nano biconical particles can improve the sensitivity. The sensitivity of the improved Au nano biconical particle sensor is 3514 nm/RIU, which is 64% higher than that of the traditional gold film SPR sensor, and the quality factor is increased by 24%. The new sensor based on Au nano biconical particles and gold film has a good application prospect in biosensor and chemical measurement.
