    Long-period fiber gratings SPR

    A long-period fiber grating couples light from a guided mode into forward propagating cladding modes where it is lost due to absorption and scattering. A monolayer of graphene is coated onto the Ag film surface of the LPFG SPR sensor, which increases the intensity of the evanescent field on the surface of the fiber and thereby enhances the. In essence, a long period fibre grating (LPFG) is an all-fibre device with wavelength dependent loss. As a band rejection filter, all light in a spectral slice is discarded without affecting the amplitude and phase of neighbouring wavelengths, with the additional advantage of low insertion losses. A graphene-based long-period fiber grating (LPFG) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is proposed.
