ABSTRACT

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and surface plasmon polariton (SPP) is substantially developing optical sensing approaches that have been working in a wide range of applications, such as biological and chemical analyte detection, bioimaging, food safety, and environmental monitoring to security. Recently, optical fiber-based Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors has gained much attention due to the invention of Photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and microstructured optical fiber (MOF) which offer compact size and light regulatory competencies in unmatched ways. Moreover, the field of sensing has witnessed another type of plasmonic sensors which are based on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide structure utilizing surface plasmon polariton (SPP) phenomena. This review paper provides an insight into the technological growths in plasmonic sensors based on optical fibers and the MIM platform. We believe that this paper is one of its kind which provides a diverse range of novel plasmonic sensor structures to its readers.

摘要

表面等离振子共振（SPR）和表面等离振子极化（SPP）正在实质性地发展光学传感方法，这些方法已在广泛的应用中起作用，例如生物和化学分析物检测，生物成像，食品安全以及对安全性的环境监测。近年来，由于光子晶体光纤（PCF）和微结构光纤（MOF）的发明，基于光纤的表面等离振子共振（SPR）传感器获得了极大的关注，它们以无与伦比的方式提供了紧凑的尺寸和光调节能力。此外，感测领域见证了另一类等离子体传感器，其基于利用表面等离子体激元（SPP）现象的金属-绝缘体-金属（MIM）波导结构。这篇综述文章提供了对基于光纤和MIM平台的等离子传感器技术发展的见解。我们认为，本文是同类文章之一，可为读者提供各种新颖的等离子体传感器结构。
