This paper will start by mentioning very briefly previous results reported recently for mechanical sensors based on embedding a rectangular-lattice photonic crystal into the core of a standard monomode optical fiber. The next step will be to introduce and evaluate another mechanical sensor based on embedding a triangular-lattice photonic crystal into the core of the optical fiber. We will argue that such sensors (i.e., which embed photonic crystals into the core of optical fibers), are highly sensitive to mechanical deformations. Finally, we will estimate the sensitivity of the mechanical sensor which relies on a triangular-lattice photonic crystal, and compare it with that of a mechanical sensor which uses a rectangular-lattice photonic crystal. The main conclusion is that the triangular-based sensor is 22% more sensitive (than the rectangular-based one), while future directions of research will end the paper.

This paper will introduce and evaluate a novel sensor based on embedding a triangular-lattice photonic crystal into the core of an optical fiber. We will start by mentioning previous results reported recently for a similar sensor which used a rectangularlattice photonic crystal. We will argue that such sensors (i.e., which embedded photonic crystals into the core of standard monomode optical fibers) are highly sensitive, and will show that the novel sensor (which relies on a triangular-lattice photonic crystal) achieves an accuracy of about 10 pico-meters, this being 22% better than that of the sensor which uses a rectangular-lattice photonic crystal. Possible fabrication alternatives will also be mention. While these sensors have been analyzed only with respect to mechanical deformations, they could easily be used for a much wide range of measurements. This aspect, together with the ultra-small size (micro-meters) of such sensors makes them attractive candidates for future (lab-)on-chip applications.
