RT Journal Article T1 Plasmonic sensors based on doubly-deposited tapered optical fibers A1 González Cano, Agustín A1 Navarrete Fernández, María Cruz A1 Esteban, Óscar A1 Díaz Herrera, Natalia AB A review of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) transducers based on tapered fibers that have been developed in the last years is presented. The devices have proved their good performance (specifically, in terms of sensitivity) and their versatility and they are a very good option to be considered as basis for any kind of chemical and biological sensor. The technology has now reached its maturity and here we summarize some of the characteristics of the devices produced.
