Enhanced Sensitivity and Detection of Near-Infrared Refractive Index Sensor with Plasmonic Multilayers

In this work, the multilayer of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was optimized to achieve the maximum sensor sensitivity. By optimizing the thickness of the silver layer (Ag) and dielectric films (TiO<sub>2</sub> and AlAs), the optimum sensitivity of the SPR sensor could be obt...

The performance of the SPR sensor proposed was compared with control simulations utilizing zinc oxide (ZnO) and molybdenum oxide (MoO<sub>3</sub>).

This refractive index sensor shows the FOM to have high detection accuracy and high sensitivity that lead to finding potential application in bio-chemical detection with a small volume of liquid used in biological diagnosis.
