The sensitivity of one-dimensional Bloch surface wave (BSW) sensors to external refractive index variations using Kretschmann's configuration is calculated analytically by employing first-order perturbation theory for both TE and TM modes. This approach is then validated by comparison with both transfer matrix method simulations and experimental results for a chosen photonic crystal structure. Experimental sensitivities of (8.4±0.2)×10 2 and (8.4±0.4)×10 2 nm/RIU were obtained for the TE and TM BSW modes, corresponding to errors of 0.02% and 4%, respectively, when comparing with the perturbation theory approach. These results provide interesting insights into photonic crystal design for Bloch surface wave sensing by casting light into the important parameters related with sensor performance. |
