Abstract

The accuracy of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical fiber sensor is affected by the change of ambient temperature. Therefore, we propose a simple dual channel SPR optical fiber sensor, which can measure both glucose concentration and ambient temperature. The proposed sensor is a two-channel structure based on a no-core optical fiber (NCF): one channel is coated with gold film and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to sense the ambient temperature, and the other is coated with silver film to sense glucose concentration. The experimental results show that the sensor's sensitivity for sensing glucose concentration is 2.882 nm / %, and for sensing temperature is -2.904 nm / °C. By monitoring the real-time temperature, the accuracy of glucose concentration detection was improved. The proposed sensor has a simple and compact structure, and it is suitable for sensing glucose solution or other analyte solutions that need temperature compensation.
