Fabrication and Characterization of SPR Based Fiber Optic Probe Using e beam Deposition

Abstract

A surface plasmon resonance based fiber optic probe has been fabricated using electron beam deposition. The fabricated probe has been characterized using sucrose solution. It has been observed that the resonance wavelength i.e. SPR wavelength increases with increasing concentration of sucrose solution. The experimental results so obtained have been compared with theoretically simulated model results and are found to be in good agreement qualitatively. This study will found applications in fabrication of biochemical sensors
