Abstract

Behavioral analysis of a photonic crystal fiber-based sensor with a high amplitude sensitivity is elicited in this paper. Multiple airhole diameters were intentionally used in the structure for attaining a high amplitude sensitivity, and the structure was built on a hybrid lattice configuration rather than hexagonal or square to extract the maximum out of circular analyte type PCF. Gold is the plasmonic medium, and the analyte is introduced in the outer layer of the structure. A perfectly matched layer (PML) was imputed in the structure to collect reflected light. The structure was consistent in its efficacy for all analyte refractive indices from 1.30 to 1.41. The maximum and the average wavelength sensitivity (SW) for both x and y modes are 12,000 nm/RIU and 3272 nm/RIU respectively. The highest amplitude sensitivity (SA) recorded is 5900RIU−1 for x-polarized(pol) light from refractive index (RI) 1.39 to 1.40. The average amplitude sensitivity is 1019.66 RIU−1 and 892.08 RIU−1 respectively, for x and y-polarized modes. The sensor has a resolution of 8.33 × 10–6 which implies it can detect the changes of 10–6 order in the analyte refractive index. This structure also has a figure of merit (FOM) of 545.45 RIU−1, resulting in an excellent detection limit. Due to its sterling amplitude sensitivity, feasible configuration, long functioning biosensing refractive index range, and high FOM, the proposed structure has the potential to be a utilitarian entity in the field of refractive index-based bio or chemical sensing.
