    Abstract

    Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a considerably growing optical sensing approach which has been employed in wide range of applications including medical diagnostics, biological and chemical analyte detection, environmental monitoring, and food safety to security. SPR sensing technique shows high sensitive nature due to small change of sample refractive index, compared to other optical sensing techniques. Recently, microstructured optical fiber-based plasmonic sensors have shown great development due to its compact structure and light controlling capabilities in unprecedented ways. The goal of this chapter is to (1) describe the principle operation of plasmonic sensors, (2) discuss the optical properties of plasmonic materials, (3) compare and contrast the different types of microstructured optical fiber-based plasmonic sensors, and (4) highlight the main challenges of microstructured plasmonic sensors and possible solutions.
