• We demonstrate a sensitivity-tunable temperature SPR sensor based on side-opening grapefruit fiber. The opening sections of the fiber are coated with gold layer and then filled with a liquid mixture of ethanol and chloroform as the sensing medium. The variation of the temperature will lead to different coupling efficiencies between the core-guided mode and the plasmonic mode, and then resulting in the change of loss spectra of the fiber that will be detected. Simulation results indicate that the temperature sensitivity of the sensor is 19.9 nm/°C at 10°C when the volume fraction of ethanol in the mixture is 0.1. Moreover, by adjusting the volume fraction, the sensitivity of proposed sensor can achieve the upper limit for a certain temperature range without the excitation of higher order plasmonic modes.
