Popis: | A self-referencing plasmonic platform is proposed and analyzed. By introducing a thin gold layer below a periodic two-dimensional nano-grating, the structure supports multiple modes including localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and Fabry-Perot resonances. These modes get coupled to each other creating multiple Fano resonances. A coupled mode between the LSPR and SPR responses is spatially separated from the sensor surface and is not sensitive to refractive index changes in the surrounding materials or surface attachments. This mode can be used for self-referencing the measurements. In contrast, the LSPR dominant mode shifts in wavelength when the refractive index of the surrounding medium is changed. The proposed structure is easy to fabricate using conventional lithography and electron beam deposition methods. A bulk sensitivity of 429 nm/RIU is achieved. The sensor also has the ability to detect nanometer thick surface attachments on the top of the grating. |
