Publicação
IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL

Abstract
This paper presents the performance analysis of a sensing configuration of refractive index, based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in microstructured D-type optical fiber with a thin gold layer, using the finite-element method. The configuration is analyzed in terms of the loss and distribution Poynting vector. The results are compared with a conventional SPR D-type optical fiber sensor for refractive index measurement. The simulation results show an improvement of the sensitivity and resolution (10 x 10(3) nm/RIU and 9.8 x 10(-6) RIU, respectively, when considering an accurately spectral variation detection of 0.1 nm).

Abstract
In this work we show numerically the potential of using a metamaterial constituted by ordered arrays of silver nanowires as a sensor for refractive index changes of a surrounding dielectric medium. The results show a strong dependence of the reflectance spectrum on the refractive index of the dielectric medium.

Simultaneous Plasmonic Measurement of Refractive Index and Temperature Based on a D-Type Fiber Sensor With Gold Wires

Publicação
IEEE SENSORS JOURNAL

Abstract
This paper presents an optical fiber sensor, that uses surface plasmon resonance on metallic wires to directly and simultaneously measure both the refractive index and the temperature. The sensor is constituted by gold wires on a D-type fiber engineered, using numerical simulations based on the finite-element method to support plasmon modes with strong dependencies to either one of the measured parameters. In particular, the influence of the temperature on the structure of the plasmon modes results from contributions from the thermooptic effect in the fiber core and sensing layer, and phononelectron scattering along with electron-electron scattering in the metal wire. The performance of the sensor is evaluated in terms of its sensitivity and resolution.

Abstract
The realization of tabletop optical analogue experiments of superfluidity relies on the engineering of suitable optical media, with tailored optical properties. This work shows how quantum atomic optical systems can be used to develop highly tunable optical media, with localized control of both linear and nonlinear susceptibility. Introducing the hydrodynamic description of light, the superfluidity of light in these atomic media is investigated through GPU-enhanced numerical simulations, with the numeric observation of the superfluidic signature of suppressed scattering through a defect.

Abstract
In this work a numerical model related to an optical inclinometer is presented. This model is based on a fused fiber taper monitored in the transmitted power. Comparisons are made between the numerical and experimental results and it is demonstrated good agreement with them. Thus, the model is proven to be suitable to simulate variation of parameters in order to obtain better performance of the sensor response. The numerical results demonstrate that is possible to enhance the inclinometer sensitivity by varying the legnth and waist of the taper. It is obtained a sensitivity of about 0,7 dB/degree using a taper length and waist of 1200 mu m and 30 mu m, respectively, at an angular range of 35 to 45 degrees.
