Abstract

This paper presents an in silico study regarding the use of a trapezoidal prism-based surface plasmon resonance sensor to detect cancer in the colorectal mucosa. The parameters of the surface plasmon resonance curves o the multilayered structure operating in the wavelength interrogation mode were studied by exploring the metallic film characteristics. The height of the thin films of gold, silver, and copper was studied to find the best sensitivity. Whereas a p-polarized light beam, with a range of 450 to 820 nm, falls on the multilayered structure at an angle of 68 degrees, the Fresnel equations were chosen to calculate the reflectance curve. From the evaluated results, we realized that the greater results were reached when we used a 40 nm silver film, resulting in 6,454.12 nm/RIU for a sensitivity value.
