Abstract

A high-sensitivity three-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is proposed in this paper. The gold film is selected as the plasmonic metal and coated on the outside surface of the PCF to excite the SPR phenomenon. There are three different diameter air holes of d1, d2, and d3 distributed on the cross-section of the sensor. Among them, sensor performance can be affected by changing the diameter of the central hole and the thickness of the gold film. The sensor shows the maximum confinement loss value and spectral sensitivity of 50 dB cm−1 and 30600 nm RIU−1, respectively, at analyte RI (na = 1.41), and the corresponding maximum resolution is 3.27 × 10–6. The above simulation result shows that the sensor has excellent performance, thus laying the foundation for future research.
