Abstract

We propose a scheme to extend dynamic range of a Fabry-Perot (FP) resonator-based refractive index sensor while maintaining the sensitivity. We considered an intensiometric refractive index sensor using an FP resonator in a plasmonic waveguide which is formed by mode selective mirrors. Then, we demonstrated that the intensity degeneracy is a cause of small dynamic range. Lastly, we found that mode dependent transmission characteristics of the FP resonator and 180-degree phase shift across FP resonances can be exploited for extension of dynamic range.
