A theoretical analysis for a new high-sensitivity pressure sensor based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon is presented. The device consists a thin metal film deposited on the cladding of a U-shaped optical fiber probe embedded in a silicon rubber block. When the block is under pressure, the bending radius will vary and consequently a shift on the SPR wavelength can be noticed and converted...
