Abstract:
A novel optical fiber having its cladding doped with Au nano-particles was developed by modified chemical vapor deposition process. Absorption peaks of the optical fiber preform and the fiber appearing at 585 nm and 428 nm, respectively were due to surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the incorporated Au nano-particles in the cladding. The measured peak wavelength of the SPR was found to increase from 480.9 nm to 505.5 nm with refractive index (n) from 1.406 to 1.436 and the SPR sensitivity was estimated to be 820 nm/RIU.
