A High-Sensitivity SPR Refractive Index Sensor Based on No-Core Fiber with Ag-Cu Composite Films
A fiber/Ag-Cu films surface plasmon resonance (SPR) refractive index (RI) sensor composed of multimode fiber-no-core-fiber-multimode fiber (MMF-NCF-MMF) structure is designed. The sensing region length and Cu film deposition time of sensor are gradually optimized by the control variable method, whic...
