The traditional optic fiber SPR sensor has many disadvantages; for example, removing the cladding requires corrosion, operating it is dangerous, adjusting the dynamic response range is hard, and producing different resonance wavelengths in the sensing area to realize a multi-channel measurement is difficult. Therefore, in this paper, we skillfully used bare fiber grinding technology and reverse symmetry welding technology to remove the cladding in a multi-mode fiber and expose the evanescent field. On the basis of investigating the effect of the grinding angle on the dynamic range change of the SPR resonance valley wavelength and sensitivity, we combined polymer-clad fiber and vitreous-clad fiber by a smart design structure to realize at a single point a two-channel measurement fiber SPR sensor. In this paper, we obtained a beautiful spectral curve from a multi-mode fiber two-channel SPR sensor. In the detection range of the refractive rate between 1.333 RIU and 1.385 RIU, the resonance valley wavelength of channel \u2160 shifted from 622 nm to 724 nm with a mean average sensitivity of 1961 nm\/RIU and the resonance valley wavelength of channel \u2161 shifted from 741 nm to 976 nm with a mean average sensitivity of 4519 nm\/RIU.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17122862","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,11]],"date-time":"2017-12-11T12:26:37Z","timestamp":1512995197000},"page":"2862","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Two-Channel SPR Sensor Combined Application of Polymer- and Vitreous-Clad Optic Fibers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Yong","family":"Wei","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Intelligent Information Processing and Control, Chongqing Three Gorges University, Wanzhou, Chongqing 404100, China"},{"name":"College of Electronic \uff06 Information Engineering, Chongqing Three Gorges University, Chongqing 404100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yudong","family":"Su","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic \uff06 Information Engineering, Chongqing Three Gorges University, Chongqing 404100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chunlan","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Chongqing Engineering Research Center of Internet of Things and Intelligent Control Technology, Chongqing Three Gorges University, Chongqing 404100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiangfei","family":"Nie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic \uff06 Information Engineering, Chongqing Three Gorges University, Chongqing 404100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhihai","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of In-fiber Integrated Optics, Ministry Education of China, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Lab of In-fiber Integrated Optics, Ministry Education of China, Harbin Engineering University, Harbin 150001, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yonghui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Basic Medicine Department, Chongqing Three Gorges Medical College, Chongqing 404100, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2855","DOI":"10.1038\/ncomms3855","article-title":"An angular fluidic channel for prism-free surface-plasmon-assisted fluorescence capturing","volume":"4","author":"Nomura","year":"2013","journal-title":"Nat.
