“…It is a challenging task to obtain a uniform thickness of the outer gold layer coated on the circular surface of the PCF. There are several methods including radio frequency (RF) sputtering, thermal evaporation, and wet-chemistry deposition that can be implemented to deposit this outer thin layer [26]. However, these normal metal coating methods suffer from extreme surface roughness.…”

“…Considering this fact, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) [27] is an efficient method that offers uniform nanolayer coating with minimal surface roughness. Metal nanoparticles can also be used by maintaining their size during fabrication to obtain a thin and smooth coating surface [26]. The simulation results were carried out by using finite element method (FEM)-based COMSOL software.…”

Abstract:In this paper, we numerically demonstrate a two-layer circular lattice photonic crystal fiber (PCF) biosensor based on the principle of surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The finite element method (FEM) with circular perfectly matched layer (PML) boundary condition is applied to evaluate the performance of the proposed sensor. A thin gold layer is deposited outside the PCF structure, which acts as the plasmonic material for this design. The sensing layer (analyte) is implemented in the outermost layer, which permits easy and more practical fabrication process compared to analyte is put inside the air holes. It is demonstrated that, at gold layer thickness of 40 nm, the proposed sensor shows maximum sensitivity of 2200 nm/RIU using the wavelength interrogation method in the sensing range between 1.33-1.36. Besides, using an amplitude interrogation method, a maximum sensitivity of 266 RIU −1 and a maximum sensor resolution of 3.75 × 10 −5 RIU are obtained. We also discuss how phase matching points are varied with different fiber parameters. Owing to high sensitivity and simple design, the proposed sensor may find important applications in biochemical and biological analyte detection.

“…The laborious process will make the sensor more fragile. In recent years, many researchers have focused on different types of photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based SPR sensor [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. By introducing air holes in the core area of the PCF, the effective refractive index (n eff ) of the core mode can be reduced, thus easily realizing the phase matching between the core mode and the SPP modes [14][15][16][17][18].…”

An H-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is proposed for detecting large refractive index (RI) range which can either be higher or lower than the RI of the fiber material used. The grooves of the H-shaped PCF as the sensing channels are coated with gold film and then brought into direct contact with the analyte, which not only reduces the complexity of the fabrication but also provides reusable capacity compared with other designs. The sensing performance of the proposed sensor is investigated by using the finite element method. Numerical results show that the sensor can work normally in the large analyte RI (n a ) range from 1.33 to 1.49, and reach the maximum sensitivity of 25,900 nm/RIU (RI units) at the n a range 1.47-1.48. Moreover, the sensor shows good stability in the tolerances of ±10% of the gold-film thickness.

Monitoring of environmental contamination including oil pollution is important to protect marine ecosystems. A wide range of sensors are utilized in petroleum industry to measure various parameters such as viscosity, pressure, and flow. Here, we create an optical lattice mesh structure that can be used as an oil sensor integrated with optical fiber probing. The principle of operation of the sensor was based on light scattering, where the tested medium acted as a diffuser. Three different mesh-sized structures were analyzed by optical imaging, light transmission and scattering in the presence of supercut, diesel and stroke oil types within the meshes. The meshes were utilized as a medium for different types of oils and the optical diffusion and transmission were studied in the visible spectrum. Angle-resolved measurements were carried out to characterize light scattering behavior from the mesh structures. Different types of oils were identified based on the optical behavior of the lattice structure. The fabricated mesh structures can be utilized as a low-cost measurement device in oil sensing.
