▎ 摘  要

In this article, we have theoretically demonstrated the sensor performance in mid-IR frequency domain by resonance excitation of Bloch surface modes through energy coupling with graphene surface plasmon polaritons in truncated one-dimensional (1D) ternary photonic crystal (TPC) under Kretschmann configuration coupling technique. The involvement of optical anisotropy via graphene monolayer enhances light-matter interaction thus enabling excellent control over the resonance wavelength (RW) of the excited Bloch surface modes (EBSMs). For incident transverse magnetic-polarized electromagnetic waves, the band structure, reflection spectra and field profile are computed using 2x2 transfer matrix method. The control over the RW has been established by examining the effect of variation of different model parameters like thickness of truncation layer, refractive index of external medium, temperature, chemical potential and the periodicity of TPC. The variations in periodicity result in the expansion of the range of confinement of EBSMs in photonic band gaps from 19THz to 65THz. Weproved that the variation in temperature between 300 degrees K and 500 degrees K confines the EBSMs with high coupling efficiency (CE). Also, at room temperature the best achievable quality factor (QF) is 1421 and a high Q.F. of 8170 is attained at 260 degrees K.
