Kretschmann-Based Optical Sensor via Thermally Tunable Refractive Index
This study discusses whether the prism used in a Kretschmann-based surface plasmon sensor can be fabricated from a thermotropic liquid crystal (TLC) material. The refractive index of the TLC prism can be thermally tuned to match the excitation requirements for the surface plasmon modes along the met...
