Abstract

Cholesterol is the soft and pulpy fat in our body. This study investigates a novel photonic crystal fiber with a hollow octagonal core configuration for human body cholesterol sensing. The sensor is simulated and modeled based on the finite element method. The proposed sensor model is characterized by various performance parameters, including relative sensitivity, which reveals a value of 92.34% relative sensitivity at the optimum operating frequency of 3.6 THz. The model also exhibits the lowest confinement loss of 3.77 × 10−18 cm−1 at the optimum operating frequency. The proposed cholesterol sensor was modeled using hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF). This HC-PCF has advantages over porous-core PCF, as it provides space for an increased quantity of analytes at the core region.
