A novel evanescent field optical fiber sensor based on a solid-core photonic crystal fiber with large holes has been introduced and successfully fabricated. Experiments show that the ethanol solution of unit concentration causes 0.461dB attenuation of absorbance. The finite element numerical simulation of the grapefruit photonic crystal fiber has been performed. The energy overlap factor is 0.0039 when holes are filled with air, and that is 0.012 when holes are filled with water for the different effective refractive index of the holes. Besides, the relationship between the maximum power transmission and the refractive index is also studied and analyzed. This research provides helpful instructions to the study of evanescent field sensing based on the solid-core photonic crystal fiber with large holes especially for biochemical detection.

Abstract A newer and efficient solid core with air holes and ring based circular photonic crystal fiber (C-PCF) design is proposed, developed, and studied. The C-PCF structure with a ring core and three layers of air holes is developed to communicate terahertz frequency of the range of 1 THz to 3 THz. Finite element method (FEM) is used to optimize the position, shape and dimensions of air holes and refractive index (RI) of material for the proposed PCF design and check the efficiency to support different orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes for communication. Our novel designed C-PCF supports multiple stable modes with mode purity above 0.9. Confinement loss is in the range of 10-12 dB/cm, highest effective mode area in the order of 1 mm2 is achieved in the investigated study for 3 THz transmission. The study observes that the performance of PCF is strongly dependent on RI of core and cladding.
