Abstract

A high sensitivity wide range surface plasmon resonance (SPR) refractive index sensor based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF) has been proposed in this paper. The finite element method (FEM) is used to calculate and analyte the structure of PCF. The optical properties of the PCF are investigated by adjusting the refractive index of liquid analyte. By optimization, the fiber sensor achieves a high linearity refractive index sensitivity of 0.9979 and 1931.03 nm / RIU over a refractive index range from 1.350 to 1.460 and achieves a short PCF length of 1 mm. It is allowed the sensor to be small enough to be integrated into inspection equipment,and expected to gain important applications in the fields of biological monitoring, environmental monitoring, and chemical production.
