Surface plasmon resonance or SPR, was first observed on the verge of the twentieth century. In late 60s and early 70s, simple methods to implement and excite surface plasmons were introduced. Since then, numerous applications have been proposed to utilize SPR, from biosensors to optical switches. This is due to the sensitivity of SPR to fine changes in the conditions of the environment (for example temperature or concentration), and its ability to work in real time. It is imperative to design and propose structures with different SPR properties to enable the possibility of tailoring devices to meet the needs of science and technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate nano sensors with a periodic 6-point shuriken structure to excite localized surface plasmons (LSPR). It is shown in this study that the aforementioned sensor can have a sensitivity of up to 600 nm/RIU, using Kretschmann configuration and silver nano particles.
