The study designed a refractive-index sensor based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology with an ultra-wide detection range. Simulation results showed that the sensor has great potential in the fields of biology, chemistry, environment, and medicine.
An ultra-wide detection range refractive-index sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) with photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is designed and discussed. The central air-hole of the fiber is injected with the analyte. The properties of refractive-index sensor are investigated with different structure parameters. Simulation results show that the proposed sensor has an ultra-wide detection range from 1.29 to 1.49. The refractive index sensitivities of x-polarized and y-polarized core mode are -4156.82 nm/RIU and -3703.64 nm/RIU respectively, and the corresponding linear fitting degrees are 0.99598 and 0.99236. The designed refractive-index sensor with ultra-wide detection range has a great potential in the fields of biology, chemistry, environment and medicine.
