Area of Science:

  • Photonics
  • Optical Sensors
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCFs) offer unique light-confining properties for sensing applications.
  • Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a biocompatible polymer suitable for integration into sensing devices.
  • Refractive index (RI) sensing is crucial for analyzing various substances, including biological samples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and investigate a novel refractive index sensor based on a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) photonic crystal fiber (PCF).
  • To explore both single-channel and dual-channel configurations for the PDMS-PCF sensor.
  • To optimize sensor performance by analyzing key structural and material parameters.

Main Methods:

  • Design and simulation of single-channel and dual-channel PDMS-PCF structures.
  • Analysis of the influence of parameters like pore diameter, lattice constant, D-shaped structure proximity, and gold nanoparticle radius on sensor performance.
  • Evaluation of wavelength sensitivity and resolution across different refractive index ranges.

Main Results:

  • The single-channel PDMS-PCF sensor demonstrated a detection range of 1.21-1.27 RI with a maximum sensitivity of 10,000 nm/RIU and resolution of 1×10-5 RIU.
  • The dual-channel PDMS-PCF sensor achieved a broader detection range of 1.2-1.28 RI.
  • The dual-channel design exhibited enhanced performance with a maximum sensitivity of 13,000 nm/RIU and a resolution of 7.69×10-6 RIU.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed PDMS-PCF sensor designs, particularly the dual-channel configuration, show significant potential for high-performance refractive index sensing.
  • The sensor's biocompatibility and sensitivity make it a promising candidate for future in-vivo and in-vitro biomedical analysis.
  • Further optimization of structural parameters can lead to even greater sensing capabilities.
