To realize the design of a medical sensor with excellent comprehensive performance indexes, herein, a plasma concentration sensing model satisfying the Parity-Time (PT) symmetric condition is proposed. In this paper, the transfer matrix method was used to simulate the transmittance spectrum of the structure, according to the amplification effect on defect mode transmission and various detection performance indexes of the structure. We numerically optimized the parameters of the structure, such as the number of PT-symmetry unit cell N, the sample layer thickness dD as well as the macroscopic Lorentz oscillation intensity α in the PT-symmetry unit cell. The calculation results demonstrate that when the sample concentration changes from 0 g/L to 50 g/L, the wavelength of defect peak shifts from 1538 nm to 1561 nm, and the average quality factor, sensitivity, average figure of merit, average detection limit and average resolution of the structure can reach 78,564, 0.4409 nm/(g/L) (or 227.05 nm/RIU), 11,515 RIU−1, 5.1 × 10−6 RIU and 0.038 g/L, respectively. Not only the sensitivity and resolution of the PT-symmetry structure are better than that of the similar sensors, but it also has excellent comprehensive detection performance, which indicates that the developed sensor can be used in high-precision biomedical detection devices.
