Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Frequency responses of a terahertz surface plasmon resonance (SPR) waveguide sensor with an analyte container are quantitatively evaluated by a figure of merit (FoM). We investigate a two-dimensional sensor using InSb in the sensing section, in which the analyte container is adopted to hold an analyte. We evaluate the effect of adding the analyte container on the frequency response. It is pointed out that the FoM decreases as the refractive index of the analyte container increases. To improve the FoM, we reduce the core height of the input/output waveguide. We also analyze a sensor using InAs in the sensing section. It is shown that a reduced core height is effective in improving the FoM.
