Abstract
In this paper, a photonic-crystal fiber based plasmonic biosensor in which gold is used as the plasmonic material is proposed. The introduced sensor is designed in such a way that the plasmonic metal layer and the sensing layer are placed outside the fiber structure so that the fabrication process and the numerical analysis has become comparatively much easier. The proposed plasmonic biosensor properties are calculated numerically using the finite element method. Amongst the parameters affecting the performance of the biosensor are the thickness of the gold layer and the diameter of the central cavity. By applying the wavelength interrogation method, the maximum sensitivity and the resolution of the proposed biosensor are computed as 5723.5 nm/RIU and 1.74 × 10−5 RIU, respectively. The proposed structure with the above properties is suitable for detecting biological molecules, organic chemicals and analytes.
