Abstract

This work proposes a novel localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) biochemical sensor featuring high sensitivity and a high resolution. The sensor was divided into two subcomponents according to their distinct functions; namely, single-mode fiber and metal array. Single-mode fibers located on the left and right sides of the sensors function as the input and output for optical fiber signals. A metal array comprising an arrangement of cylindrical nanometal particles served as the detection area of the sensor. To effectively reduce the memory capacity and calculation time, two innovative techniques (i.e., object meshing and boundary meshing) were integrated with the finite element method. With the area of the triangular elements used as a basis, the object boundary, small object, medium object, and large objects were meshed at a ratio of 1:8:160:1600. The improved numerical simulation methods and six design procedures were adopted to develop and analyze the proposed LSPR biochemical sensor. The results show that the novel LSPR biochemical sensor outperformed two current high-performance biochemical sensors and provided additional advantages such as short length (approximately 430 μm), high resolution (approximately –120 dB), and high sensitivity (approximately 127 604 nm/RIU).
