Abstract

Surface plasmon resonance sensors based on the resonant transmission characteristics of metal hole arrays are fabricated using conductive inkjet printing for operation in the terahertz region. The response of the sensing surfaces is measured using terahertz time domain spectroscopy. The addition of a layer of glycerol on the surface that is much thinner than the wavelength of the incident wave is simulated and results in a significant shift of the resonance frequency. This indicates the possibility of realising a flexible low-cost sensor for chemical and biological substances.
