Abstract

Surface plasmon resonance holographic microscopy (SPRHM) has been employed to measure the refractive index but whose performance is generally limited by the metallic intrinsic loss. Herein we first, to our knowledge, utilize guided wave resonance (GWR) with low loss to realize the monitoring of the refractive index by integrating with digital holographic microscopy (DHM). By depositing a dielectric layer on a silver film, we observe a typical GWR in the dielectric layer with stronger field enhancement and higher sensitivity to the surrounding refractive index compared to the silver film-supported SPR, which agrees well with calculations. The innovative combination of the GWR and DHM contributes to the highly sensitive dynamic monitoring of the surrounding refractive index variation. Through the measurement with DHM, we found that the GWR presents an excellent sensitivity, which is 2.6 times higher than that of the SPR on the silver film. The results will pave a new pathway for digital holographic interferometry and its applications in environmental and biological detections.
