Abstract
This manuscript introduces a highly sensitive dual-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based multi-analyte surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor, possessing the ability to detect multiple analytes at once. A chemically stable thin plasmonic substance of gold (Au) layer, holding a thickness of 30 nm, is employed to the outer portion of the stated design that manifests a negative real permittivity. Moreover, an ultra-thin film of aluminum oxide (Al2O3) , having a thickness of 10 nm, is inserted into the exterior of the gold film to calibrate the resonance wavelength as well as magnify the coupling strength. The performance of the sensor is rigorously explored employing the finite element method (FEM), where numerical investigation confirms that the intended sensor model exhibits a peak amplitude sensitivity (AS) of 2606 RIU-1 , as well as a highest wavelength sensitivity (WS) of 20,000 nm/RIU. The achieved outcomes affirm that the sensor design can be conceivably applied in numerous biological; as well as biochemical analyte refractive index (RI) detection to realize the relevant significant applications in the visible to near-infrared (VNIR) region of 0.5 to [Formula: see text].
