▎ 摘  要

Local surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) produced by metallic nano-structures is often sensitive to the refractive index of the surrounding media and can be applied for sensing. However, it often suffers from large line width caused by large plasmonic radiative damping, especially in the infrared (IR) frequencies, which reduces the sensitivity. Here we propose a hybrid structure consists of a graphene stripe and a gold gap-ring at short-IR frequencies (1-3 mu m). Due to the low loss and high plasmonic confinement of graphene, LSPR line width of 6 nm is obtained. In addition, due to the strong coupling of the gold gap-ring with graphene stripe, the intensity of graphene LSPR is enhanced by 100 times. Simulation results show that the sensitivity of the sensor is similar to 1000 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) and the figure of merit (FoM) can reach up to 383.
