Abstract

Cholesterol is an important liquid in human body and everyone needs to balance the cholesterol level for living a healthy life style. A photonic crystal fiber (PCF)-based biosensor for sensing the cholesterol in far infrared region is proposed in this manuscript. A novel decagonal shape solid core photonic crystal fiber is designed. The sensing holes ring are placed in the solid core. For durability and stability of the sensor, Topas is the single fiber material. A perfectly matched layer (PML) is covered the PCF and also used as a scattering boundary condition. The numerical analysis is investigated by the finite element method (FEM). The highest sensitivity of the designed sensor is 97.32% for detecting the cholesterol. The parameters such as numerical aperture (NA), spot size (SPS) and beam divergence (\({\theta }_{bd}\)) are also analyzed. The designed decagonal PCF structure can be used for sensing the different biological and chemical analytes due to its simple structure and promising results.
