Abstract

A localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) temperature sensor based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF) filled with liquid and silver nanowires is demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally. Simulation results show that a blueshift is appeared along with temperature increasing. The resonance wavelength and resonance intensity can be tuned effectively by adjusting the volume ratios of the liquid constituents. To investigate the sensor’s performance, a large temperature range from 25°C to 60°C is detected in experiment and the sensitivity of -2.08 nm/°C with figure of merit (FOM) 0.1572 is obtained. The all-fiber device with strong mechanical stability is easy to realize remote sensing by changing the downlead fiber length, also promising for developing a high sensitive, real-time and distribute fiber sensor in temperature sensing applications.
