Abstract: A wavelength-dependent surface plasmon resonance(SPR) sensor with tunable incident angles was designed and constructed. The resonance curves of sucrose solutions at different concentrations were measured under different incident angles(80°—66°). Several 3-dimensional(3D) maps were obtained through the experiment data, which reflects the evolution of the resonance wavelength, full width at half maximum(FWHM) and sensitivity as functions of refractive index and incident angle. The quality of the wavelength-dependent SPR sensor was systematically discussed via the theoretical simulation and experimental data. It indicates that the sensitivity increases rapidly with the red-shift of resonance wavelength. Through these 3D maps, the resonant wavelength, FWHM and sensitivity of analyses can be predicted. These 3D maps could give suggestions to the design and construction of wavelength-dependent SPR devices.
