Abstract
In this study, the surface plasmon resonance-based fiber optic sensor using two-dimensional (2D) TMDC materials covering the Au/Ag bimetallic layer has been reported. Since MoS2, MoSe2, WS2, and WSe2 are the most popular ones, they are constructed as the resonant layer of the sensor. The layer-dependencies and heterostructures of the TMDC materials are examined for the determination of their effect on the performance of the SPR sensor. The performance parameters of the SPR sensor, the sensitivity, accuracy, and figure of merit, are calculated with the help of the MATLAB simulations. It is found out that considering the very small change in the refractive index of the sensing medium (0.0025), the monolayer MoSe2 has the highest sensitivity value of 8096 nm/RIU. In contrast, the monolayer WS2 has the highest accuracy and figure of merit values of 0.34 and 136.89 RIU−1, respectively. This study will be benefited for a better understanding of the performance of the SPR based fiber optic sensor depending on the number of layers of TMDC materials and based on their heterostructures.
