Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel surface plasmon resonance sensor for both liquid and gas detections, which is based on the two dielectric planar waveguide (PWG)-coupled plasmonic structure. Two sharp Fano-type resonances, which arise from the electromagnetic coupling between surface plasmon polariton (SPP) and PWG modes, appear in the reflection curve, and they can be used to monitor the minute changes of the refractive indices of gas and liquid due to their high imaging sensitivities (> 9.0 × 103 RIU− 1). The Fano resonance angles and the figures of merit for imaging sensitivity can be effectively manipulated by the thicknesses of guiding layers, and the sensor system can measure over a wide range of the refractive indices of sensing media.
