Bio-sensing application of chalcogenide thin film in a graphene-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor

Chalcogenide Glasses are of recent interest in the field of chemical and bio-sensing applications. These are considered either in stored memory devices or in optical domain. The involvement of such material in the bio-sensing application for the development of SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance) Sensors is very essential and thus, has been considered in this manuscript. In a Kretschmann SPR configuration, a thin-film layer of such Chalcogenide material has been incorporated which is further accompanied with a Graphene layer. The optical properties of both the materials viz. chalcogenide and graphene have been portrayed and presented in this paper by taking the assistance of MATLAB environment and Characteristic Transfer Matrix (CTM) Method.

Automated summary

Chalcogenide Glasses have gained recent interest in chemical and bio-sensing applications, particularly in the development of SPR Sensors. This paper illustrates the optical properties of chalcogenide and graphene materials using a Kretschmann SPR configuration, along with MATLAB environment and CTM method.
