摘要
Surface plasmon resonance sensors based on Ag-metalized nanolayer in microstructured optical fibers are theoretically analyzed by using finite element method (FEM). In our simulations we use Drude-Lorentz model to describe the metal dielectric constant. The numerical results show that the sensitivity of Ag-metalized SPR sensor could reach 1167 nm/RIU and corresponding resolution is 8.57 x 10(-5) RIU. Compared to conventional Au-metalized SPR sensors the performance of our device is obviously better. Crown Copyright (C) 2010 Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
