In this paper, a high sensitivity, polarization preserving photonic crystal fiber (PCF), based on circular air holes for sensing in the terahertz (THz) band, is presented. The finite element method, a practical and precise computational technique for describing the interactions between light and matter, is used to compute the modal properties of the designed fiber. For the designed PCF, comprising of circular air holes in both the cladding and in the porous core, a relative sensitivity of 73.5% and a high birefringence of 0.013 are achieved at 1.6 THz. The all circular air-hole structure, owing to its simplicity and compatibility with the current fiber draw technique for PCF fabrication, can be realized practically. It is anticipated that the designed fiber can be employed in applications such as detection of biological samples and toxic chemicals, imaging, and spectroscopy.

The photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology has flexibility in birefringence, negative dispersion, effective area and nonlinearity and has become a widely studied new fiber. However, there are many problems in the practical application of the sensor, such as complex structure design, not easy to prepare, the low sensitivity of sensing detection, narrow range of refractive index detection of analytes, which greatly limits the application range and functions of PCF sensors. To solve the above problems, this paper adopts a structure with a longer vertical distance between the D-shaped large air hole channel and the core. The energy of the core conduction mode is better limited by the cladding to transmit in the core, and the plasma mode is enhanced, which can effectively increase the wavelength sensitivity. In this paper, the hexagonal double-clad air hole structure and the D-type structure are combined to ensure a simple structure and facilitate manufacturing and production, while the wavelength sensitivity is also greatly improved. The wavelength sensitivity of the dual sample channel can reach up to 16200 nm/RIU and 15800 nm/RIU, which has broad application prospects in the field of high-sensitivity detection.
