Abstract

Based on the surface plasmon resonance effect, a new type of near-infrared multi-core photonic crystal fiber sensor with one analyte channel is proposed. The proposed sensor can effectively eliminate the interference between neighboring analyte channels and improve its signal-to-noise ratio thanks to its single analyte channel structure. The sensing performance is theoretically studied through using the full-vector finite method. Numerical results indicate that, the thickness of the indium tin oxide film has a large influence on the resonance wavelength and the peak of loss while the effect of elliptical air hole size on the property of the proposed sensor is so small. Furthermore, the wavelength sensitivity is 4,400 nm/refractive index unit and the resolution is up to 2.27×10-6. Benefitting from its excellent sensing performance, the proposed sensor can be applied in environmental, food safety and (bio)chemical detection..
