Simultaneous measurement of refractive index and temperature for prism-based surface plasmon resonance sensors
Abstract:
A detailed theoretical model is provided to analyze the effects of temperature on prism-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors, including temperature dependence of the metal and prism. A complete sensitivity matrix simultaneously measures variations in refractive index (RI) and temperatures using measurements at two wavelengths for the angular-interrogation mode, or at two angles of incidence for the wavelength-interrogation mode. Correction of matrix coefficients improves accuracy of the two modes. Validation is performed using a self-designed wavelength SPR system with an adjustable incident angle perform. This method provides a new way to detect the RI and may lead to the better design and fabrication of prism-based SPR sensors.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
