The present study investigates the angular response and sensitivity of a surface plasmon resonance biosensor with metamaterial, by taking the advantage of the remarkable property of metamaterials. The proposed biosensor numerically shows that silver with a metamaterial layer enhances the sensitivity. The thickness of metamaterial and silver layer has been optimized. On comparing these results w...

The tunability of surface plasmon resonance can enable the highest degree of localised surface plasmon enhancement to be achieved, based on the emitting or absorbing wavelength. In this article, tunable dipole surface plasmon resonances of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) are realized by modification of the SiO2 dielectric layer thicknesses. SiO2 layers both beneath and over the Ag NPs affected the reson...

We review various fiber optic sensors utilizing both the propagating and localized surface plasmon resonance techniques. The utilization of optical fibers in plasmon based sensing has provided several advantages in sensing of various physical, chemical and biochemical parameters. The article starts with a brief introduction of the propagating surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and localized surfac...
