Theoretical study of silicon carbide-based surface plasmon resonance sensor for detection of tuberculosis in blood plasma
摘要
This manuscript delivers a comprehensive computational analysis of a Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) sensor designed for the detection of tuberculosis (TB) in blood plasma. The sensor architecture is based on the Kretschmann setup and integrates essential elements such as a calcium fluoride (CaF2) prism, copper (Cu), silicon carbide, black phosphorus (BP), and a tailored sensing interface. To assess the sensor’s operational characteristics, sophisticated methodologies including the transfer matrix approach and angular interrogation are utilized at a wavelength of 633 nm. The optimized configuration achieves an angular sensitivity of 386.50 deg/RIU, D.A 1.17 deg⁻1 Q.F 329.91 RIU⁻1, and LOD 10.3
