Deskripsi

In this work, the fabrication of a SPR (Surface Plasmon Resonance)-grating coupler using Laser Interference Lithography (LIL) has been investigated, giving rise to large area diffraction gratings on a 100 nm-thick gold film. The period of the diffraction grating is Λ = 500 nm. The SPR sensor has been tested towards several liquids showing a maximum sensitivity of S = 390 nm/RIU.
