摘要

Theoretical demonstration of excitation of electromagnetic surface waves (EMSWs) via Bragg grating coupler is presented. The present manuscript utilizes the improvised Kretschmann configuration coupling mechanism where the prism is replaced by a dielectric Bragg grating. The sensing performance based on the resonance excitation of EMSWs is studied for transverse magnetic polarized ( \(\:\pi\:-\) polarized waves) case. The dispersive properties and the optical properties are also studied. For the designed sensor the refractive index sensitivity is evaluated to be \(\:31.55\:\mu\:m/RIU\) and the angular sensitivity is evaluated to be \(\:0.2194\:\:\mu\:m/deg\) . Such photonic structure is novel compared to the traditional way of sensing under Kretschmann configuration because it leads to the miniaturization of the sensors which makes it compact and easily portable.
