Abstract:

A novel proposed design of hexagonal PCFs choosing two background materials and to compare the high relative sensitivity for liquid sensing. PCF whose both core and cladding are microstructred. Numerical analysis is carried out by implementing full vectorially 2D FDTD method. The proposed structures have been investigated in four different cases (d1=d2=d3=d4= 2μm, d1=d2=d3=2μm d4=2.2μm, d2=d3=2μm d1=d4=2.2μm, d1=d2=2μm d3=d4=2.2μm at same lattice pitch of 2.4μm) and it reports that relative sensitivity achieve higher value with increasing the innermost air hole ring in cladding. On the other hand, relative sensitivity effectively increases by introducing a single channel instead of a group of channels. By optimizing configuration of PCF structures with different parameter suggests that relative sensitivity significantly changes with low confinement loss. The relative sensitivity and confinement loss have been investigated against different liquid analyte (water ethanol benzyne) and compared between two background material PCF.
