研究目的
To enhance the sensitivity of the refractive index sensor by incorporating Bragg gratings in the standard ring resonator design.
研究成果
The proposed design of plasmonic sensor offers an enhanced sensitivity due to the intensification of surface plasmons between the teeth of the Bragg grating embedded in the resonator cavity. The spectral characteristics are studied by varying the geometric parameters of the sensor. Our proposed design has best S, FOM and Q-factor of 1680 nm/RIU, 48 and 48.4, respectively which is much higher than several previously reported values.
研究不足
The fabrication of the proposed sensor design requires precise control over the geometric parameters to avoid a big shift in λres due to a few nm of fabrication error.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The transmission spectrum and electric field distribution of the device are simulated using the finite element method (FEM).
