Plasma resonance refractive index sensor of D-type photonic crystal fiber based on hole cutting type

Abstract

The invention discloses a plasma resonance refractive index sensor of a D-type photonic crystal fiber based on a hole cutting type, and belongs to the technical field of photonic crystal fiber sensing. The plasma resonance refractive index sensor comprises: a D-type photonic crystal fiber; the D-type photonic crystal fiber comprises a fiber core and a wrapping layer wrapping the fiber core; the wrapping layer is provided with a circular arc curved surface and a polishing surface, and the polishing surface is covered with a metal layer; a plurality of through air holes are formed in the wrapping layer along the axial direction of the fiber core; the air holes comprise two D-shaped holes which are symmetrically arranged on the left side and the right side of the fiber core and circular hole arrays which are arranged on the peripheries of the D-shaped holes. The cut hole type D-type structure further improves the excitation efficiency of SPR, enhances the interaction between an analyte and the fiber core, and can realize high-sensitivity sensing with a refractive index sensing interval of 1.35-1.45. And within the refractive index interval of 1.35-1.45, the maximum spectral sensitivity of the sensing performance reaches 10450nm/RIU, which is far higher than that of a traditional optical fiber sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photonic crystal fiber sensing, in particular to a plasma resonance refraction index sensor based on a hole-cut D-type photonic crystal fiber. Background technique [0002] Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) describes a phenomenon that occurs at the interface between a metal and a medium, and the incident light excites conduction electrons in the metal, causing them to collectively oscillate. Because the SPR effect is extremely sensitive to the detection of refractive index changes, SPR sensors have been widely used in the research of biochemical detection. [0003] In the prior art, the traditional prism-type SPR sensor is difficult to miniaturize and the system is complex and difficult to package and implement. It can only be used in the laboratory, and has limitations in the detection of the external environment and long-distance detection. The optical fiber structures of miniaturized SPR sensors cannot ...
