Localized Surface Plasmon

Applying fiber-optics on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors is aimed at practical usability over conventional SPR sensors. Recently, field localization techniques using nanostructures or nanoparticles have been investigated on optical fibers for further sensitivity enhancement and significant target selectivity. In this review article, we explored varied recent research approaches of fiber-optics based localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensors. The article contains interesting experimental results using fiber-optic LSPR sensors for three different application categories: (1) chemical reactions measurements, (2) physical properties measurements, and (3) biological events monitoring. In addition, novel techniques which can create synergy combined with fiber-optic LSPR sensors were introduced. The review article suggests fiber-optic LSPR sensors have lots of potential for measurements of varied targets with high sensitivity. Moreover, the previous results show that the sensitivity enhancements which can be applied with creative varied plasmonic nanomaterials make it possible to detect minute changes including quick chemical reactions and tiny molecular activities.

Abstract Fiber optic based localized surface plasmon resonance (FO-LSPR) sensor is one of the biosensors that detects specific biomolecules and can detect the onset of disease. In this paper, we propose two methods to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the sensor, which is one of the main characteristics of the FO-LSPR sensor. The first method is to increase the intensity of the sensor by increasing the size of gold nanoparticle (Au NP) formed on the optical fiber surface by Au capping method. The second method is to form a structure that reduces the reflection by increasing the roughness of the surface by etching the surface of the optical fiber using the Au NP formed on the surface of the optical fiber as a mask. Increasing the roughness of the optical fiber surface can reduce the background signal of the sensor. The two methods mentioned above can increase the SNR of the sensor. When the SNR of the sensor is increased, the efficiency of the sensor is improved.
