研究目的
To compare the sensitivities of optical sensors based on surface plasmonic waves and surface waves in a planar surface waveguide, both excited in the Kretschmann scheme, and to propose methods for increasing the sensitivity of sensors based on a surface waveguide.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that sensors based on multilayer surface waveguides can achieve higher sensitivity than those based on surface plasmonic waves. The proposed methods for increasing sensitivity involve reducing absorption in the waveguide and optimizing film thicknesses. The study also estimates the required fabrication accuracy and dimensions for workable sensors.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and relies on numerical calculations. The practical implementation of the sensors may face challenges related to the fabrication accuracy of film thicknesses and the dimensions of the sensors.
