Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a surface plasmon-enhanced mixed-medium whispering gallery mode microcavity sensor. Background technique [0002] With the development of modern biochemical industry, there are more and more detection scenarios of extremely small particles, which put forward higher requirements for the sensitivity of optical sensors. [0003] Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biochemical sensor is an optical sensor based on the metal surface plasmon resonance effect, which has the advantages of no need to label the sample to be tested and high sensitivity. The SPR effect is an optical phenomenon. The evanescent wave is incident on the surface of plasmonic nanoparticles, causing a gradient electron concentration distribution on the surface, forming plasma oscillations. When the incident angle or wavelength meets certain conditions, the frequency of the evanescent wave is the same as t...

Problems solved by technology

However, for ordinary pure dielectric microcavities, adding metal particles on the surface will increase the surface scattering of the microcavity, thereby reducing the Q value of the microcavity and limiting the further improvement of sensor sensitivity
