▎ 摘  要

Graphene is a zero band-gap semi-metal with remarkable electromagnetic and mechanical characteristics. This study is the first ever attempt to use graphene in the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor as replacement material for gold/ silver. Graphene, comprised of a single atomic layer of carbon, is a purely two-dimensional material and it is an ideal candidate for use as a biosensor because of its high surface-to-volume ratio. This sensor is based on the resonance occasion of the surface plasmon wave (SPW) according to the dielectric constants of each metal film and detected material in gas or aqueous phase. Graphene in the SPA sensor is expected to enlarge the range of analyte to bio-aerosols based on the superior electromagnetic properties of graphene. In this study, a SPR-based fiber optic sensor coated with multi-layered graphene is described. The multi-layered graphene film synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) on Ni substrate was transferred on the sensing region of an optical fiber. The graphene coated SPA sensor is used to analyze the interaction between structured DNA biotin and Streptavidin is analyzed. Transmitted light after passing through the sensing region is measured by a spectrometer and multimeter. As the light source, blue light which of 450 to 460 nm in wavelength was used. We observed the SPA phenomena in the sensor and show the contrary trends between bare fiber and graphene coated fiber. The fabricated graphene based fiber optic sensor shows excellent detection sensitivity of the interaction between structured DNA and Streptavidin.
