A novel liquid-infiltrated photonic crystal fiber model applicable in liquid sensing for different test liquids—water, ethanol and benzene—has been proposed. One core hole and three air hole rings have been designed and a full vector finite element method has been used for numerical investigation to give the best results in terms of relative sensitivity, confinement loss, power fraction, dispersion, effective area, nonlinear coefficient, numerical aperture and V-Parameter. Specially, the assessed relative sensitivities of the proposed fiber with water, ethanol and benzene are 94.26%, 95.82% and 99.58%, respectively, and low confinement losses of 1.52 × 10−11 dB/m with water, 1.21 × 10−12 dB/m with ethanol and 6.01 × 10−16 dB/m with benzene, at 1.0 μm operating wavelength. This novel PCF design is considered simple and can be easily fabricated for practical use, and the assessed waveguide properties has determined the potential applicability in real liquid sensing applications.

A new triangular photonic crystal fiber with a based microstructure core gas sensor has been proposed for the wavelength range from 1.1μm to 1.7μm. The guiding trait of the proposed structure depends on geometric parameters and wavelength, which are numerically studied by the finite element method. According to the results, the relative sensitivity obtained as high as 75.14% at 1.33μm wavelength. high birefringence and effective area are also obtained by order of 3.75×10-3 and 14.07 μm2 finally, low confinement loss of 1.41×10-2 dB/m is acquired at the same wavelength. The variation of the diameters in the cladding and core region is investigated and the results show that this structure has good stability for manufacturing goals. Since the results show the highest sensitivity at wavelengths around 1.2μm to 1.7μm, which is the absorption line of many gases such as methane (CH4), hydrogen fluoride (HF), ammonia (NH3), this gas sensor can be used for medical and industrial applications.

A simple hexagonal lattice photonic crystal fiber model with liquid-infiltrated core for different liquids: water, ethanol and benzene, has been proposed. In the proposed structure, three air hole rings are present in the cladding and three equal sized air holes are present in the core. Numerical investigation of the proposed fiber has been performed using full vector finite element method with anisotropic perfectly match layers, to show that the proposed simple structure exhibits high relative sensitivity, high power fraction, relatively high birefringence, low chromatic dispersion, low confinement loss, small effective area, and high nonlinear coefficient. All these properties have been numerically investigated at a wider wavelength regime 0.6–1.8 μm within mostly the IR region. Relative sensitivities of water, ethanol and benzene are obtained at 62.60%, 65.34% and 74.50%, respectively, and the nonlinear coefficients are 69.4 W−1 km−1 for water, 73.8 W−1 km−1 for ethanol and 95.4 W−1 km−1 for benzene, at 1.3 µm operating wavelength. The simple structure can be easily fabricated for practical use, and assessment of its multiple waveguide properties has justified its usage in real liquid detection.

Introduction: This paper demonstrates the design of a sensor model for the detection of Sodium Chloride (NaCl) in an effective and efficient manner. Photonic Crystal Fiber (PCF) has been used to design this sensor model. Objective: Using Comsol Multiphysics software, the sensor model has been implemented and simulated to carry out an indepth analysis of the sensing performance of the proposed model. Method: The confinement loss, effective material loss, effective area, birefringence, and relative sensitivity has been analyzed to estimate the sensing efficiency of this model. The sensor performance has been analyzed for five different concentrations of NaCl. Results: From the analysis, it is found that for all the analytes, confinement loss maintains a moderate value for the frequency band ranging from 0.9 to 1.2 THz. However, it approaches absolute zero immediately after 1.2 THz. The sensor model results in a high effective area, which is highly desirable for every PCF. It shows 3.78 × 105 , 3.77 × 105 , 3.76 × 105 , 3.75 × 105 , and 3.743 × 105 μm 2 effective areas for 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% NaCl respectively at 1.4 THz. The effective material loss for this model is about 3.7×10-3 , 3.63×10-3 , 3.68×10 -3 , 3.672×10-3 and 3.652×10-3 cm -1 for 80%, 60%, 40%, 20% and 0% NaCl respectively at 1.4 THz. Birefringence is also high for the proposed model . The values of birefringence are approximately 0.002, 0.0018, 0.0017, 0.0016 and 0.0015 at 1.4 THz for 0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% NaCl respectively. In addition to the above positive outcomes, the sensor model exhibits high sensitivity for both x and y polarization. The peak sensitivity of this sensor is 91.5%, 91.42%, 91.34%, 91.25% and 91.10% in x polarization direction whereas the peak sensitivity is 91.70%, 91.60%, 91.49%, 91.40% and 91.25% in y polarization direction for 80%, 60%, 40%, 20% and 0% NaCl respectively at 1.8 THz. The value of sensitivity is above 90% at 1.4 THz for all the five concentrations of NaCl. Conclusion: The analyzed optical properties signify the higher efficiency and effectiveness of the sensor model in the detection of NaCl.

In this research, the proposed hexagonal photonic crystal fibers design is modelled using the principle of golden ratio; fixing the proportion of pitch to diameter of the air holes constant. Finite element method with perfectly matched layer boundary is used for numerical simulation of different properties. It is shown that the proposed design has lower effective area of below 9 μm2, low chromatic dispersion value of below 57 ps/(km.nm) and confinement loss of less than 0.01 dB/km at 1.55 μm wavelength. The proposed hexagonal photonic crystal fiber is applicable for data transmission systems.

Abstract In this study, five layers of hexagonal cladding and two elliptical air holes based on photonic crystal fiber are discussed highly for many communication areas by decreasing different types of losses such as effective material loss (EML), scattering loss, and confinement loss in the terahertz (THz) waveguiding. Our suggested fiber (H-PCF) and all simulation results are obtained with the finite element method (FEM) and the perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary conditions based COMSOL Multiphysics software have been used to design in the THz region. After investigating all the graphical results, this optical communication-related H-PCF fiber discloses an extremely low effective material loss (EML) of 0.0184 cm−1, with an effective area of 7.07×10-8 m2 and flow of power in the core region of 88% at 1 terahertz (THz). Here, other simulation parameters such as confinement loss, scattering loss, and V-parameter are also presented with a proper graph. So, we can easily say that the reported H-PCF fiber is strongly appropriate for different types of short and long-distance communication applications in the terahertz (THz) wave pulse region.
