We present the experimental results of a novel single-ended reflecting surface plasma resonance (SPR) based long period
fiber grating (LPFG) sensor. A long period fiber grating sensing device is properly designed and fabricated with a pulsed
CO2 laser writing system. Different nm-thick thin metal films are deposited on the fiber cladding and the fiber end facet
for the excitation of surface plasma waves (SPWs) and the reflection of the transmission spectrum of the LPFG with
doubled interaction between metal-dielectric interfaces of the fiber to enhance the SPW of the all-fiber SPR-LPFG
sensing system. Different thin metal films with different thicknesses are investigated. The effect of the excited SPW
transmission along the fiber cladding-metal interface with silver and aluminum films is observed. It is found that
different thicknesses of the metal overlay show different resonant behaviors in terms of resonance peak situation,
bandwidth and energy loss. Within a certain range, thinner metal film shows narrower bandwidth and deeper peak loss.
