Abstract
In this work, we demonstrate the sensing principle to simultaneously detect the salinity and temperature of seawater using a 1D-defective photonic crystal structure. We designed a one-dimensional defective mode photonic crystal based on the well-known transfer matrix method (TMM) for detecting the seawater salinity and temperature. Our proposed optical sensor is based on the following concept. Since the concentration of the salinity in the seawater changes the refractive index of the seawater, the sensitivity can be calculated by a peak wavelength shift happening in the output transmission spectrum for its variation of different concentration of samples. By adjusting the design parameters of our proposed structure such as the thickness of the defect layer, the temperature and the salinity, we investigated the corresponding optical properties response where the resulted transmittance peak can be turned over the considered range.
