Abstract
We present an numerical investigation of a planar waveguide surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) for detecting a change in the imaginary part of the refractive index. By adding a thin adsorbed layer between the metal-analyte boundary it is found that an enhanced sensitivity of the sensor is obtained, suggesting the possibility of realizing a highly integrated and highly sensitive absorption-based SPR sensor in SOI.
