Abstract :
Single-wall carbon nanotube deposition on gold-coated plasmonic optical fiber sensors has been proposed and demonstrated. The effects of carbon nanotubes on the polarization-dependent coupling of light from the fiber to the coating and on the resulting refractometric sensor properties are experimentally investigated.
