Detail Analysis of the Surface Plasmon Resonance Prism Based Sensors Element
The theoretical research and experimental verification of the surface plasmon resonance prism based sensors element have been carried out. This research includes the simulation of optical characteristics, optimization of geometric parameters and the production and research of an experimental low cost prototype with simple construction. The influence of the thickness change of the silver and chromium layers on the position of the reflectance minimum, which corresponds to the surface plasmon resonance, has been investigated.
