Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensors have gained popularity as effective technique for label-free approach and real-time sensing in various applications. This book introduces the fundamentals of both Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) and Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) and their integration approach to use PCF as a plasmonic sensor. Their combined potential rule the sensing industry by providing a highly efficient and versatile sensor platform. Through this book, the authors have tried to explain in detail, the simulator platform for developing PCF-SPR sensors, named COMSOL Multiphysics. The book contains the survey of the important literature on PCF-SPR sensing to help the keen enthusiast beginning his/her journey to understand the latest advancement in plasmonic PCF sensing on one platform. Last but not the least, the authors have pro the learner example of a dual-ring Au-coated PCF-SPR sensor design, meticulously engineered in COMSOL Multiphysics, incorporating a micro-structured cladding with strategically arranged air holes to enhance light-matter interactions. The sensor has employed the External Metal Deposition (EMD) technique, characterized by high stability and efficiency.
Overall, this book discusses important advancements in the domain of optical sensing by harnessing the unique properties of PCF and SPR. The book not only enhance our understanding of PCF-SPR sensor dynamics but also builds the route for the development of high-performance sensors with diverse sensing applications. The book is written in simplest possible language keeping in mind the target audience which can be an under-graduate, a researcher or an industrial enthusiast commencing this journey in the world of plasmonic sensing using appreciable holey fibers with beautiful arrangement of air-holes in a definite manner, excellently guiding the light through them. The authors hope the book will serve its purpose and will come up as a useful literature for both current and future learners in this domain.
