We report a plasmon waveguide resonance (PWR) sensing structure supporting two waveguide modes for self-referenced measurement. We show theoretically the dual mode PWR sensing structure owns unique opportunities for self-referenced measurement, and the accuracy and cross sensitivity can be optimized by simply varying the gold film thickness or dielectric layer thickness or dielectric film refractive index. This structure may provide an approach owning good compatibility with the surface plasmon resonance and PWR biosensors for self-referenced biosensing.

This paper proposes a reflective fiber mercury ion sensor based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) principle and chitosan (CS)/polyacrylic acid (PAA) multilayer sensitive film. By optimizing the coating parameters of the gold film, the refractive index (RI) sensitivity of the reflective SPR sensor is demonstrated to be 2110.33 nm/RIU. Then, a multi-layer CS/PAA film is fixed on the surface of the gold film as a mercury ion sensitive film to form a reflective SPR fiber mercury ion sensor. Experimental results demonstrate that the sensor can be used to detect different concentrations of mercury ions with a high sensitivity of 0.5586 nm/μM and good specificity and repeatability. Therefore, the reflective SPR fiber mercury ion sensor shows great promise for future applications of environmental monitoring and drinking water safety.
