Abstract

A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) temperature sensor based on the conjoined-tube hollow-core anti-resonant fiber (HC-ARF) is designed and analyzed. The conjoined-tube HC-ARF contains two connecting tubes with a cross arrangement in the cladding. The SPR temperature sensor is constructed by inserting a metal into one of the inner layer tubes and injecting a thermo-sensitive liquid into the hollow core of the HC-ARF to enhance the temperature sensitivity by exploiting the SPR effect. The effects of the structural parameters and thermo-sensitive media and metals on the sensing properties such as the temperature sensitivity, peak loss, resolution, amplitude sensitivity, and figure of merit (FOM) are analyzed systematically. Numerical analysis reveals ultra-high temperature sensitivity of 38.8 nm/°C and FOM of ${673.84}^\circ {{\rm C}^{- 1}}$, which are approximately 10 times higher than those of sensors described in the recent literature. In addition, the sensor is capable of detecting a wide temperature range from ${-}{5}^\circ {\rm C}$ to 60°C with good linearity. The SPR temperature sensor with high precision, a wide temperature detection range, a simple and easily modifiable structure, as well as good manufacturing tolerance has large potential in high-precision temperature monitoring in the petrochemical and biomedical industries.
