Abstract
In this paper, a sinusoidal diffraction grating is being used for designing a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) structure. The operation of the structure has been examined by using the wavelength-interrogation technique. We have considered the reflected amplitude and absorption dip of the SPR response curve as design parameters for designing this structure. On the performance comparison of gold (Au)-based over silver (Ag)-based SPR structure, although the Ag-based SPR structure gives better results. Due to the poor chemical stability of silver, a thin film of gold is used over it which enhances the performance of the proposed bimetallic SPR structure. This can be used in bioscience for observing the variation of refractive index in an analyte.
