We report a graphene-based indium tin oxide coated surface plasmon resonance sensor built on a D-shaped optical fiber for near infrared. Different parameters of the proposed sensor have been optimized to obtain a maximal phase matching between the core guided mode and the plasmon mode using finite element method. Wavelength sensitivity of the proposed structure is as high as 5700 nm/RIU with a maximum resolution of 1.754 × 10 −5 RIU. The proposed sensor can also be used for bio layer thickness monitoring with a maximum resolution of 62.5 pm in wavelength interrogation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
