Problems solved by technology

Among these four methods, angle scanning requires expensive precision angle rotation devices and control systems, wavelength scanning requires polychromatic light and expensive spectral analysis devices, and intensity modulation is affected by fluctuations in light source intensity and DC drift in photoelectric receivers and amplifier circuits. However, the accuracy is not high, and phase scanning requires additional modulation components, which limits their application to a certain extent.

Abstract

The invention discloses an integrated surface plasma refractive index sensor and a detection and analysis method thereof. The planar size of the integrated surface plasma refractive index sensor is in microndimension so as to detect micro samples; furthermore, two interference arms are integrated on a thin film which supports surface plasma, so the stability and the reliability can be improved. Data of theoretical analysis and the embodiment show that the refractive index sensibility is improved with the increase of a distance L0 between an exciting structure of the surface plasma and a gap and the reduction of an inclination angle alpha, so that the sensitivity is high; furthermore, high-sensitivity and high optimal value function sensing can be realized, and the integrated surface plasma refractive index sensor has the characteristics of simple and compact structure, convenient use, wide applicability, low cost and favorability for integration and high-flux parallel sensing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of sensors, and in particular relates to an integrated surface plasmon refractive index sensor and a detection and analysis method thereof. Background technique [0002] Surface plasmon is usually a non-radiative space-localized electromagnetic surface wave mode propagating along the metal surface produced by free electrons on the metal surface collectively oscillating with the incident photons at the same frequency, and the field intensity decays negatively exponentially in the direction perpendicular to the interface . Under certain conditions, mutual coupling between light and surface plasmons in free space can be achieved. The use of surface plasmons as information carriers can enable effective excitation and flexible manipulation of light in the range of micrometers and even nanometers. Theoretical design, experimental research and practical application research of various devices based on surface pla...
