Abstract

Optical biosensor is the most promising device with high sensitivity for the detection and analysis of biochemical composition. Due to the compact size, these designs have a vast application in biomedical and healthcare. In this paper, a nanocavity based 2-D photonic crystal sensor for sensing of several biochemical are proposed. In these structures, nanocavity is explored in the waveguide as a sensing node. This explored sensing node can detect the change in refractive index. The proposed nanocavity structure is designed for analyst refractive index in an optical wavelength of 1.43–1.65μm. For detecting the different analysts, the sensing node refractive index is changed. Simulation has been done for biotin-streptavidin, ethanol, hemoglobin, and water. For the different refractive index analysts, it has been observed that change in refractive index has shifted the resonating wavelength to higher wavelength. All the simulation has been done using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Method.
