Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) heterostructure-based fluoride fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor designs are simulated and analyzed while emphasizing figure of merit (FOM) enhancement in the near-infrared (NIR) spectral region. Through simultaneous optimization of NIR wavelength and Ag layer thickness, exceptionally large FOM values of and are achieved for -based and -based fiber SPR sensors, respectively. The results are explained in terms of tunable radiation damping, power loss, and corresponding field enhancement. These FOM values are significantly greater than recently reported sensors. The -based sensor with 48.8 nm Ag film and at 738.4 nm wavelength provides an all-round large FOM.
