Abstract
In this paper, we have designed and optimized the metallic nano-structures on a conventional surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor which induce the localized surface plasmon resonance for an improved sensitivity. Designed SPR sensor was simulated with 3D Finite-difference time-domain method. The sensitivity is maximized to 130.9 degree/RIU when the thickness of film layer TF is 30 nm while that of a conventional SPR sensor is less than 99.6 degree/RIU, and the reflectivity is minimized when TF is 25 nm. The most appropriated diameter of particles is about 35 nm for high sensitivity.
