Abstract

To solve the phase matching and analyte filling problems in the microstructured optical fiber (MOF)-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors, we present the D-shaped hollow core MOF-based SPR sensor. The air hole in the fiber core can lower the refractive index of a Gaussian-like core mode to match with that of a plasmon mode. The analyte is deposited directly onto the D-shaped flat surface instead of filling the fiber holes. We numerically investigate the effect of the air hole in the core on the SPR sensing performance, and identify the sensor sensitivity on wavelength, amplitude and phase. This work allows us to determine the feasibility of using the D-shaped hollow-core MOFs to develop a high-sensitivity, real-time and distributed SPR sensor.
