Abstract
The Goos–Hänchen (GH) shift is one of the important aspects to evaluate the performance of multilayer surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors. However, the conventional SPR sensor design procedure based on the fixed parameter scanning (FPS) method is complex and time-consuming, and makes it difficult to gain the optimized design. In this paper, in order to design the optimal GH-shift-based SPR sensor, an improved differential evolution (IDE) algorithm based on chaos mapping, fitness elimination mechanism, nonlinear scale factor, and cross probability control strategy is proposed. By using such an IDE algorithm, the Ag‐ITO‐TMDCs‐graphene structure can be optimized. By the IDE algorithm, after 9 iterations, the maximum fitness value is obtained in the Ag‐ITO‐${{\rm MoS}_2}$-graphene structure, the maximum GH shift is ${16591}\lambda$, and the sensitivity is ${3.3} \times {{10}^8}\,\lambda /{\rm RIU}$. Compared with the FPS method, the GH shift is increased 192 times, and the sensitivity is increased 25,707.6 times. Compared with the DE algorithm, the number of iterations and the efficiency of the IDE algorithm are enormously improved as well. Such an algorithm provides a new, to the best of our knowledge, approach for designing a multilayer SPR sensor.
