Here, we present an approach of multifunctional fiber sensor based on Fano resonances and localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) excited via cylindrical vector beam with ability of refractive index (RI) sensing, nano-distance detection, and surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Silver (Ag)-nanocube modified microfiber is theoretically proved to enable to detect RI of the nearby solids and gases based on Fano resonances with a sensitivity of 128.63 nm\/refractive index unit (RIU) and 148.21 nm\/RIU for solids and gases, respectively. The scattering spectrum of the Ag nanocube has the red-shift response to the varies of the nano-distance between the nanocube and the nearby solid, providing a detection sensitivity up to 1.48 nm (wavelength)\/nm (distance). Moreover, this configuration is theoretically verified to have ability to significantly enhance electric field intensity. Radially polarized beam is proved to enhance the electric field intensity as large as 5 times in the side-face configuration compared with linear polarization beam. This fiber-based sensing method is helpful in fields of remote detection, multiple species detection, and cylindrical vector beam-based detection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21165642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,22]],"date-time":"2021-08-22T22:59:27Z","timestamp":1629673167000},"page":"5642","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Numerical Investigation of Multifunctional Plasmonic Micro-Fiber Based on Fano Resonances and LSPR Excited via Cylindrical Vector Beam"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5681-4407","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Min","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"},{"name":"Guangzhou Institute of Technology, Xidian University, Guangzhou 510555, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lan","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yunze","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiang","family":"Fang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lixin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juanjuan","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ke","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5354-3944","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peng","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Xidian University, Xi\u2019an 710071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"056107","DOI":"10.1063\/1.5142637","article-title":"Controlling dispersion in multifunctional metasurfaces","volume":"5","author":"Sisler","year":"2020","journal-title":"APL Photon."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1648","DOI":"10.1021\/acsphotonics.7b01091","article-title":"Multifunctional Metamirror: Polarization Splitting and Focusing","volume":"5","author":"Boroviks","year":"2018","journal-title":"ACS Photon."},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Liu, H., Zhang, X., Zhao, B.L., Wu, B., Zhang, H.C., and Tang, S.F.
