Abstract

Research developments of the photonic crystal fiber based surface plasmon resonance (PCF-SPR) chemical sensors were intensively reviewed. Photonic crystal fibers, such as the microstructured optical fiber, the photonic bandgap fiber and the Bragg fiber with various structures were applied to the SPR sensors, including fuse-tapered fiber structure, D-type fiber structure and cladding-off fiber structure. Those sensors were classified as three kinds of configurations which were respectively based on the inner metal layer, the metallic nanowire and the outer metal film. What's more, the principles, superiorities and problems of the PCF-SPR sensors were also discussed in detail.
