In such sensor, a nanoscale metal film and analyte can be deposited on the outer side of the fiber instead of coating or filling in the holes of the conventional PCF, which make the real time detection with high sensitivity easily to realize. Moreover, it is relatively stable to changes of the amount and the diameter of air holes, which is very beneficial for sensor fabrication and sensing applications. Numerical simulation results show that under the conditions of the similar spectral and intensity sensitivity of 8.3 \u00d7 10\u22125\u20139.4 \u00d7 10\u22125 RIU, the confinement loss can be increased dramatically.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s130100956","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,15]],"date-time":"2013-01-15T11:11:19Z","timestamp":1358248279000},"page":"956-965","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor Based on Polymer Photonic Crystal Fibers with Metal Nanolayers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Ying","family":"Lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Opto-electronics Information Technology (Ministry of Education), College of Precision Instrument and Opto-electronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Cong-Jing","family":"Hao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Opto-electronics Information Technology (Ministry of Education), College of Precision Instrument and Opto-electronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Bao-Qun","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Opto-electronics Information Technology (Ministry of Education), College of Precision Instrument and Opto-electronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Mayilamu","family":"Musideke","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Opto-electronics Information Technology (Ministry of Education), College of Precision Instrument and Opto-electronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Liang-Cheng","family":"Duan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Opto-electronics Information Technology (Ministry of Education), College of Precision Instrument and Opto-electronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Wu-Qi","family":"Wen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Opto-electronics Information Technology (Ministry of Education), College of Precision Instrument and Opto-electronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Jian-Quan","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Opto-electronics Information Technology (Ministry of Education), College of Precision Instrument and Opto-electronics Engineering, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"357","article-title":"Surface plasmon resonance sensors based on polymer optical fiber","volume":"6","author":"Zheng","year":"2008","journal-title":"J.
