Abstract

In this letter, a new biosensing technique for cancer cell detection based on 1D photonic crystal is reported. The proposed structure is 1D photonic crystal with a gradient index lens in the middle of structure and two fluid layers around the lens. The shape of lens is also varied to study the effect on the transmission and reflected power. The study reported in this paper may prove to be interesting in early detection of cancer cell and its early treatment. By exposing, a gaussian wave light in a selected frequency band output power profiles are obtained. By changing the refractive index of fluid and shape and size of GRIN lens, skin cancer cells of various types can be detected.
