Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance based Photonic Crystal Fiber for Cadmium Detection

Abstract

In this work, fabrication of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance based fiber optic sensing probe for cadmium detection in an aqueous solution is reported. Multimode fiber-photonic crystal fiber-multimode fiber structure coated with gold nanoparticles make up this probe. The proposed sensor's sensitivity is 1.564 nm/ppm. Furthermore, the sensor is small in size, immune to electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for a wide range of harsh environments and real-time measurement.
