A surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based temperature sensor was developed using a hetero-core structured fiber optics. The sensor utilizes multilayer films of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and poly-L-lysine formed by electrostatic interaction on a gold film. Experimental results show that the sensor has high sensitivity and linearity in detecting temperature changes, while simplifying the fabrication process compared to conventional methods.
A surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based temperature sensor was developed based on hetero-core structured fiber optics with multilayer films of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) and poly-L-lysine (PLL) formed by electrostatic interaction as a simple wet process on gold (Au) film onto a cylindrical cladding surface. We experimentally observed that the resonant wavelength shifted 135.6 nm toward a shorter wavelength for a temperature change from 100 degrees C to 300 degrees C. In light intensity-based measurement, the sensitivity of the transmitted loss change was 1.8 x 10(-2) dB degrees C-1 at a wavelength of 700 nm when 19 layers of TiO2 NPs and PLL was annealed onto a 40 nm thick Au film, which improved by over 12 times higher sensitivity than in the conventional radiofrequency (RF) sputtering fabrication method. The proposed sensor successfully detected temperature changes with high sensitivity and linearity as well as simplified the fabrication process compared with the conventional RF sputtering fabrication method.
