摘要
An optical fiber sensor based on the resonant coupling between a surface plasmon wave and a guided mode of the optical fiber sensor has been reported. A technique based on the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon offers a sensitive method for studying the stability of optical sensors. In this work, we consider a layered structure consisting of three-layer optical waveguides incorporating gold-aluminum coating layers. Tests including exposing gold-aluminum films to water have been studied. Experimental and theoretical results have been mutually compared, and the operation characteristics of this novel sensing device have been briefly described. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
