In this Letter, an in-fiber dual-channel surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is reported that uses polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-filled C-type microstructured optical fiber (COF). The COF is made of HF-acid-etched single-sided hole optical fiber (SSHF), and its inner and outer sides are coated with gold film to stimulate SPR. The inner channel is filled with PDMS and acts as the temperature measurement channel, and the outer channel is directly in contact with the salt solution and acts as the salinity measurement channel. Experiments show that the sensor is qualified to detect salinity and temperature simultaneously, and it exhibits a salinity sensitivity of 0.296 nm/‰ in the salinity range of 0-153.32‰ and a high temperature sensitivity of -2.4 nm/°C in the temperature range of 22-44°C. Furthermore, the sensor also enjoys good hysteresis, repeatability, and reversibility in salinity detection. In a word, the high sensitivity, simple preparation, and good integration of the proposed sensor endow it with the potential for deep-sea exploration.

Mercury(II) ions (Hg) are one of the most common and highly toxic heavy metal ions, which can contaminate the environment and damage the human health. Therefore, the precise detection of trace Hg concentration is particularly important. Herein, gold nanoparticles-enhanced silver-coated hollow fiber (HF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor was developed for the highly sensitive detection of Hg ions.

The detection of cells and viruses is essential for research and clinical applications, creating a demand for high-performance biosensors. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) enables label-free, real-time detection and is highly promising for healthcare, including point-of-care diagnostics. However, its performance is often limited in complex biological systems.

Fiber optic surface plasmon resonance sensor (SPR) play an important role in various fields where highly sensitive sensors are suitable. In this paper, we propose an SPR refractive index sensor composed of multi-mode fiber-coreless fiber-multimode fiber (MCM) structure modified by Au/TiO2 nanofiber material. The experimental results show that the sensitivity of the TiO2 nanofiber/Au structure sensor is 3687.

Tetracycline (TC) is a common antibiotic with broad antibacterial activity, yet its excessive abuse will leave antibiotic residues in animal-derived food, posing some threats to human health. Therefore, developing a simple and effective technology for TC trace analysis is immediately important for food safety. Herein, the sensitive PEC aptasensor within Z-scheme heterojunction, based on Bi/BiMoO and P-doped ultrathin porous g-CN (PCN), was constructed by elemental doping strategy, hydrothermal method and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect.

Membrane proteins are essential for numerous biological processes and constitute a significant portion of drug targets, making the study of their interactions with ligands crucial for drug discovery. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a powerful, label-free technique for real-time biomolecular interaction analysis, but its application to membrane proteins is limited by inherent difficulties in immobilizing these proteins on sensor surfaces while preserving their native conformation and functionality. Lipid nanodiscs offer a promising solution by providing a native-like membrane environment.
