Single-arm Interferometric Plasmonic Sensor integrated on a cladded polymeric photonic platform

Abstract

We demonstrate a high-sensitivity single-arm interferometric plasmo-photonic refractive index sensor co-integrated for the first time on a cladded SU-8 polymer waveguide platform, reporting a low-complexity and low-cost sensor with an experimental sensitivity of 6069 nm/RIU.
