Abstract:

Optical-waveguide surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors are characterized by small sizes, label-free detection capabilities, and ease of integration. In this study, we designed a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) ridge waveguide SPR sensor sensitive unit based on a wavelength modulation method and optimized its key parameters. Our analysis results showed that the sensor could operate stably within a liquid-refractive-index testing range of 1.33~1.45. In the high-refractive-index detection region, the sensor exhibited a sensitivity of up to 10220nm/RIU and a high quality factor of 173RIU-1.
