Abstract
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an appropriate subtle approach for dictating the changes in the refractive index (RI) happening at the metal/dielectric interface, and has been intensively utilized as a sensing technique. A novel hexagonal microstructured optical fiber (H-MOF) based SPR sensing probes with chemically stable and active plasmonic material coating is proposed. The sensing film is utilized exterior to the fiber structure for accessing the simple sensing probe configuration. The proposed sensing structure is consisting of symmetrical circular air-holes in the dielectric cross-section, and its guiding characteristics as well as the sensing performance are theoretically evaluated. Using wavelength interrogation method, we reported the sensitivity of ~2500 nm/RIU (RIU: Refractive Index Unit).
