▎ 摘  要

In this paper, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor based on graphene-MoS2 hybrid structure with composite layer of TiO2-SiO2 is presented. The angular interrogation method is used for the analysis of reflected light from the sensor. For the calculation of the sensitivity, first of all the thicknesses of TiO2, SiO2 and gold layers are optimized for the monolayer graphene and MoS2. Thereafter, at these optimum thicknesses the reflectance curves are plotted for different sensor structure and comparison of change in resonance angle is made among these structures. It is observed that the sensitivity of the graphene-MoS2-based sensor is enhanced by 9.24 % with respect conventional SPR sensor. The sensitivity is further enhanced by including TiO2-SiO2 composite layer between prism base and metal layer and observed that the enhanced sensitivity for this sensor is 12.82 % with respect to conventional SPR sensor and 3.28 % with respect to graphene-MoS2-based SPR sensor. At the end of this paper, the variation of the sensitivity and minimum reflectance is plotted with respect to sensing layer refractive index at the optimum thickness of all the layers and optimum number of MoS2 and graphene layers. It is also observed that four layers of MoS2 and monolayer graphene are best selection for the maximum enhancement of the sensitivity.
