Abstract
We theoretically and experimentally investigated thin films based one-dimensional photonic crystal with detection of environmental humidity. The sensing elements are multilayer porous thin films deposited on fiber end face by e-beam evaporation. Theoretical simulation shows that the resonant mode of the photonic crystal shifts to longer wavelength due to the capillary condensation of thin films. Experimental results on humidity detection show that the wavelength shift reaches 21.6nm when relative humidity ranges from 11 to 84%RH; especially the proposed sensor is more sensitive below the humidity of 57%RH.
