Optimizing Plasmonic Grating Sensors for Limit of Detection Based on a Cramer–Rao Bound

We explore the impact of the geometrical features such as the period, duty cycle, and thickness on the performance of a metal-dielectric plasmonic grating sensor. The sensor is designed to operate at the wavelength of 850 nm for water-monitoring applications. Limit of detection (LOD) is chosen as th...
