SPR is excited at the deeply etched facet of the bend waveguide by the guiding mode and a bimetallic configuration is employed. With the advantages of SOI rib waveguide and the silicon microfabrication technology, an array of the SPR sensors can be composed to implement wavelength interrogation of the sensors\u2019 output signal, so the spectrometer or other bulky and expensive equipment are not necessary, which enables the SPR sensor to realize the miniaturization and integration of the entire sensing system. The performances of the SPR sensor element are verified by using the two-dimensional finite-different time-domain method. The parameters of the sensor element and the array are optimized for the achievement of high performance for biochemical sensing application. As a typical example, a single bimetallic SPR sensor with 3 nm Au over 32 nm Al possesses a high sensitivity of 3.968 \u00d7 104 nm\/RIU, a detection-accuracy of 14.7 \u03bcm\u22121. For a uniparted SPR sensor, it can achieve a detection limit of 5.04 \u00d7 10\u22127 RIU. With the relative power measurement accuracy of 0.01 dB, the refractive index variation of 1.14 \u00d7 10\u22125 RIU can be detected by the SPR sensor array.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s150717313","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,16]],"date-time":"2015-07-16T10:11:44Z","timestamp":1437041504000},"page":"17313-17328","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Design of a High-Performance Micro Integrated Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor Based on Silicon-On-Insulator Rib Waveguide Array"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Dengpeng","family":"Yuan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, J209A, Tsinghua Campus,  University Town of Shenzhen, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6413-8653","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ying","family":"Dong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, J209A, Tsinghua Campus,  University Town of Shenzhen, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]},{"given":"Yujin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, J209A, Tsinghua Campus,  University Town of Shenzhen, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]},{"given":"Tianjian","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School at Shenzhen, Tsinghua University, J209A, Tsinghua Campus,  University Town of Shenzhen, Shenzhen 518055, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"51","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pquantelec.2013.02.001","article-title":"Label-Free optical resonant sensors for biochemical applications","volume":"37","author":"Ciminelli","year":"2013","journal-title":"Prog.
