Abstrakt: Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) based optical biosensors are recently the most attractive sensing devices that can detect minor changes in refractive index. Multiple methods have been developed to design SPR based biosensors with high-performance and ease of fabrication. This research is about a grating based biosensor that utilizes Silver (Ag) and Titanium (Ti) to produce the SP resonance state. The structure has a resonance wavelength, which displays sensitivity to changes in the surrounding medium of the refractive index. The study has been conducted using numerical simulations, utilizing the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) method.The simulation results shows a sharp resonance peaks in the wavelength range of 450-700 nm with a remarkable sensitivity of 172 nm/RIU (for mode 1 at SPR peak 465 nm) and 515 nm/RIU (for mode 2 at SPR peak 585 nm), which is superior to other on-chip device. The investigation involves a comparative analysis of sensing performance, focusing on parameters like transmission, reflection, FWHM and Quality factor to measure the detection accuracy of the proposed material combination. Later, we employed this miniature biosensor device to detect hemoglobin concentrations in the blood. Our findings indicate that this developed structure has great potential for detecting any biomolecule, such as proteins, glucose, fructose, nucleic acids, and cells.
