title: Modeling of surface plasmon resonance in a bent single-mode metallized optical fiber with finite element method
abstract: In this paper, we present a numerical study of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) excitation in a bent single-mode optical fiber with metallized cladding. It is shown that with a suitable combination of the bending radius and metal film thickness, surface plasmon waves can be excited in the film as a result of coupling between the fundamental and surface plasmon modes via whispering gallery modes (WGM) supported by the bent fiber cladding. The coupling brings about a dip in the transmission spectru
