摘要
A fiber-optic chemical sensor is presented which utilizes surface plasmon resonance excitation. The sensing element of the fiber has been fabricated by removing a section of the fiber cladding and symmetrically depositing a thin layer of highly reflecting metal onto the fiber core. A white-light source is used to introduce a range of wavelengths into the fiber optic. Changes in the sensed parameters (eg., bulk refractive index, film thickness and film refractive index) are determined by measuring the transmitted spectral-intensity distribution. Experimental results of the sensitivity and the dynamic range in the measurement of the refractive indices of aqueous solutions are in agreement with the theoretical model of the sensor.
