In this paper, a refractive index plasmonic nano-sensor with an array of metallic nano-rods has been designed in the near-infrared region. The tunable sensor is based on a perfect absorber, and an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer has been utilized as an active metasurface to improve sensor performance. By applying the voltage to the ITO layer, a perfect absorption has been obtained. Also, the sensitivity rises from 625 to 1125 nm/RIU (refractive index unit), and the figure of merit is 10 times higher. Moreover, the sensor application in the fields of medicine and hematology has been shown. The proposed sensor can be used to diagnose and determine anemia and malaria parasites.

Advancements in plasmonic sensing require simultaneous detection capability that ensures large-scale detection with reduced losses. In this work, we propose a new solid-core fiber-based refractive index (RI) sensor with an ultra-broad detection range. The proposed fiber consists of a relatively simple single-ring cladding with six circular tubes in which the light is guided in the core based on the inhibited-coupling (IC) mechanism.

The sensor shows resonance around 2700 nm, with a refractive index sensitivity of 1065.70 nm per refractive index unit (nm/RIU) for refractive indices ranging from 1.

In this article, what we believe to be a novel dielectric-metal hybrid structure localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor for ultra-trace detection of Pb is proposed, featuring a zinc sulfide layer, silver nanodisks (Ag-disks), and graphene oxide (GO) covering the Ag-disks. The sensor works by detecting the variation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on its surface when Pb cleaves a substrate strand linked to a DNAzyme, causing the AuNPs modified on the substrate strand to disperse.

On the heels of the continuous development of optical fiber sensing technology, optical fiber sensors based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) have attracted widespread attention. Herein, an SPR sensor based on the six nested anti-resonant fiber (ARF) is designed and analyzed by the finite element method (FEM). All the structural parameters are optimized to achieve high-sensitivity liquid refractive index detection.

A symmetrical dual-D and dual-core single-mode fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) liquid sensor is designed for biological detection. The dual-core design optimizes the transmission path, improves the momentum matching between free electrons and photons, and facilitates bidirectional coupling, consequently amplifying the SPR effect and enabling sensitive monitoring of the refractive index changes of biological solutions. In this structure, a gold wire is placed in the middle of the polished surface of the double-D-shaped single-mode fiber (SMF) to produce high-quality free electrons and promote the mode-coupling excitation of the SPR effect.
