Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) A surface plasmon resonance (SPR) waveguide sensor based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is analyzed using the imaginary-distance beam-propagation method and the non-uniform mesh finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method.
First, we evaluate the characteristics of surface plasmon polariton modes which are excited along the metal/analyte and metal/core surfaces.
Then, we estimate the length of the metal in which a maximum interference is achieved at the end of the sensing section.
Next, the performance of the SPR sensor is evaluated using the FDTD.
The effectiveness of the non-uniform mesh FDTD is demonstrated, in which the computation time and required memory are reduced to $\simeq20\%$ of those of the uniform mesh FDTD.
A sensitivity of $10^{-6}$ is expected around a specific refractive index $(1.331\sim 1.335)$ for the sensor with an analyte thickness of $1~\mu \rm{m}$ and a metal length of $10.19~\mu \rm{m}$.
It is also shown that a sensitivity of $10^{-5}$ is obtained for an analyte index ranging from 1.330 to 1.340.
