Highly reflective mirror technologies are majorly required in bio-sensing applications to eliminate complex multiple diffraction orders. In this paper, various grating parameters, i.e. width, thickness, and period are analyzed to get optimized values and high reflectivity for high-contrast subwavelength grating (HCSG) structure. Besides these parameters, polarization modes, angle of incidences, and refractive index have been diversely analyzed to monitor their effects on HCSG structure with respect to reflectivity. The simulation results manifest that the optimized parameters help to achieve the best reflectivity that can be further utilized in bio-sensing applications.
The paper proposes a design of a localized surface plasmon resonance-based refractive index sensor for the detection of a chemical compound availing unclad geometry of the optical fiber. The geometry is explored to analyze the sensing behavior and coupling phenomenon at the metal-dielectric interface. The finite element method (FEM) is applied numerically to evaluate the analytical change in the reflectance spectra of the fiber model by inoculating potassium nitrate compound. The resonance shift and reflectance of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) signal obtained after the optimization of structural parameters enhance the sensing performance of the prototype. The sensor exhibits a maximum sensitivity of 80.2919 rad/RIU for a 1.56 high refractive index analyte and minimum sensitivity of 2.3446 rad/RIU for a 1.33 low refractive index analyte. The proposed sensor is modelled in such a way that it can be employed in various sensing applications for a wide range of refractive indices.
