Abstract
In the proposed work, a defect cavity multi-layer Bragg reflector structure is proposed theoretically to find the presence of thyroid cancer cells in the given sample. The modelling, design and analysis of the sensor is performed using characteristic matrix method (CMM). Proposed structure has central defect cavity with 6 pairs of low and high refractive index layers on each side of the defect. To enhances the sensor sensitivity, the incident light in mid-infrared frequency range is used as input light source. The refractive index of normal and thyroid cancer cells is analysed for the performance of the sensor. The obtained Q factor and sensitivity of the sensor design is 3729 and 2828 nm/RIU respectively. The proposed sensor is a best choice of optical sensor for the detection of thyroid cancer cells in the given test sample for accurate analysis in medical applications.
