Single Layer Coating Photonic Crystal Fiber Biosensor based on Surface Plasmon Resonance
This paper is a demonstration for the design of photonic crystal fiber biosensor which is based on the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance. The plasmonic coating covers the outer layer of the Photonic Crystal fiber to ease the fabrication process, we choose Gold. To quantitatively measure the represented design, we utilize a technique called as the Finite element method (FEM). To accomplish the sensitivities of 4300nm/RIU and 408.468 RIU-1 we apply the methodologies of wavelength and amplitude interrogation models. This design yielded a resolution of 2.33×10-5 respectively. A fluctuation from 1.33 to 1.39 in the analyte refractive index can be identified and measured by this design. The sensing range of the design is wide and may also be used in biological detection.
