Abstract: By using the fourier transform-surface plasmon resonance(FT-SPR) technique, the FT-SPR responses(R) toward NaCl, KCl and ethanol with various aqueous concentrations were measured. A quantitative equation of R=1.53×105(n -1.3333) was set up for the response toward the concentration dependent solution refractive index(n). The result shows that the FT-SPR response of 15 cm-1 is obtained upon 0.0001 change in the refractive index. This equation is promising in direct measurement of refractive index of unknown media.
