Problems solved by technology

[0005] Based on the application of the theory of metal-induced surface plasmon resonance in photonic crystal fiber sensors, researchers have made many achievements, but there are still some problems, such as: the structure design of photonic crystal fiber is too complicated, it is not easy to prepare; analyte refraction The detectable range of the rate is narrow; the sensitivity of the sensor detection is low; the designed sensor has a single structure and cannot provide alternatives, etc.
These have greatly limited the application range and functions of photonic crystal fiber optic sensors, and it is imminent to seek a breakthrough

Abstract

The invention discloses a photonic crystal optical fiber sensor distributed in a pentagon shape. The photonic crystal optical fiber sensor comprises a base material, cladding air holes, gold nanowiresand to-be-tested liquid; quartz serves as the base material; the air holes are formed into the inner layer and the outer layer and distributed in mutually-inverse pentagon shapes; the hole diameter of of the outer layer is larger than that of the inner layer; the air holes of the inner layer are compact and mainly used for limiting transmission of light beams in a fiber core; the air holes of theouter layer are dispersed, and used for changing the relative refraction index of a cladding layer and adjusting the properties of optical fibers; the second air holes of the outer layer are circularor fan-shaped, and the gold nanowires are fixed to the bottoms of the second air holes and used as inducing materials for the occurrence of the surface plasma resonance effect. The photonic crystal optical fiber sensor is simple in optical fiber structure design; when the sensor is operated, on the premise of guaranteeing high sensitivity and a high resolution rate, different implementation schemes can be flexibly selected aiming at different experiment conditions, and preparation is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of optical fiber sensing, in particular to a photonic crystal optical fiber sensor arranged in a pentagon. Background technique [0002] Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in optical fiber is a remarkable optical phenomenon, which is caused by incident light excitation of conduction electrons at the interface between metal and dielectric medium. This effect is caused by the coupling between the evanescent field formed by the incident light and the free electrons on the metal surface. When the effect occurs, it will be accompanied by the generation of surface plasmon waves and the sharp increase of core mode loss. Since the waves are at the boundary of conductors and dielectrics, these oscillations are very sensitive to any changes in the refractive index near the boundary, making surface plasmon resonance a very promising means of sensing. [0003] Due to the advantages of high sensitivity, real-time and label-free moni...
