Fabrication of Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor Based on Optical Fiber and Micro Fluidic Channel
Abstract:
This paper proposes Fiber-Optic Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (FO LSPR) sensor combined with a micro fluidic channel, which enables continuous supply of fluid for bio-reaction. The proposed method prevents degradation of the sensing performance due to changes in measurement conditions. The feasibility of the FO LSPR sensor with a micro fluidic channel was demonstrated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. Also, the proposed method was assessed by measuring the output intensity of the FO LSPR sensor at various refractive index solutions. Finally, a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) immunoassay was performed to evaluate the possibility of the fabricated sensor system as a biosensor.
