  • Abstract
    In this paper we present a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based fiber sensor for measurement of refractive index (RI) at different concentration of glycerol and acetone. The sensing head of fiber probe was fabricated by depositing aluminum (Al) on the unclad portion of multi-mode fiber (MMF). The experimental result shows the sensitivity obtained in power measurement of SPR fiber probe was -106.95 dBm/RIU and -408.90 dBm/RIU for glycerol and acetone. Due to the small size and good sensitivity low cost of our SPR based fiber sensor have many commercial and practical uses.
