A fiber-optic surface plasmon resonance sensor may include an optical fiber and a surface plasmon excitation layer. The optical fiber may include a core, a cladding surrounding the core, and a depression. The surface plasmon excitation layer may include a first excitation layer, a second excitation layer and an optical waveguide layer between the first excitation layer and the second excitation layer. Incident light incident through the core may be coupled to the surface plasmon excitation layer at a specific angle of incidence and wavelength satisfying the surface plasmon resonance condition. Depending on the polarizing direction of the incident light, an s-polarized component may be coupled to the guided-wave mode in the optical waveguide layer constituting the surface plasmon excitation layer.

摘要:
An optical data storage medium comprises a super-resolution (SR) layer consisting of thermoelectric material, said SR layer having light absorption, transmittance and reflectance at the wavelength of an incident light and maintaining a crystalline single phase without a structural or chemical change below the melting temperature of the material. SR readout of data from and/or SR writing of data onto the medium is carried out by way of thermoelectrically induced optical changes within a local area of the SR layer under laser irradiation.
