Microsphere Photolithography Patterning of Plasmonic Sensors on Optical Fiber

Abstract

Microsphere Photolithography uses a self-assembled hexagonal lattice of microspheres as an optical element to focus collimated light to an array of photonic jets inside a layer of photoresist. This technique is applied to pattern optical fiber for refractive index sensing and Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.
