Dopamine, a vital neurotransmitter in the human body, plays a crucial role in various physiological functions and is closely associated with neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Timely and accurate detection of dopamine levels is essential for effective disease management and personalized healthcare. In this study, we propose an innovative optical fiber-based biosensor utilizing the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) effect for highly sensitive and selective dopamine detection. The biosensor probe is fabricated using a SMS (Single mode fiber-Multimode fiber-Single mode fiber) optical fiber structure, which is chemically modified to enhance the LSPR effect. Gold nanoparticles are employed to amplify the plasmonic response, enabling improved sensing performance. Experimental analysis is performed using dopamine samples, and the results are obtained using a spectrometer. The developed LSPR biosensor demonstrates great potential for precise and efficient dopamine detection, paving the way for advanced personalized healthcare and improved management of neurological disorders.
