Demonstrates a microscale spiral-grating tapered gold tip sensor for liquid–liquid diffusion and fluorescence in complex processes, highlighting its multifunctional applications.
Optical fiber surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing, as a label-free, highly sensitive, rapid-response and in situ detection technology, has demonstrated significant utility in various physical, chemical and biological detection applications. This paper focuses on a fiber-integrated microscale spiral-grating tapered gold tip SPR sensor. We first introduce the working principle and sensing capability with high space–time resolution of this SPR microsensor. Then we provide a comprehensive description of its application in the study on the important fundamental scientific issue of liquid–liquid diffusion. Finally, we demonstrate the application of the spiral-grating tapered gold tip to plasmonic enhanced fluorescence and scanning near-field optical microscopy. By systematically summarizing the excellent multifunctional sensing performance of the microscale spiral-grating tapered gold tip, this paper aims to provide new optical schemes and tools for the study on complex physicochemical processes and light-matter interactions at microscale and nanoscale.
