Abstract

This article describes a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with two cores as refractive index sensor that was built using COMSOL Multiphysics software by considering elliptical shaped air holes within the cladding. The two cores of the PCF are formed by an elliptical air hole at center, which represents two independent waveguides. The approach is intrinsically suited to investigate the sensor's performance, a full-vector Finite Element Method technique is employed. According to mathematical evidence, the proposed PCF based sensor has maximum sensitivities 9000 nm/RIU and 10,000 nm/RIU for x-polarized and y-polarized respectively. The sensing range of analyte is 1.35–1.39. The proposed sensor that has excellent sensitivity reveals an unmatched capacity for detecting chemicals, agents that cause cancer, biomolecules, and other analytes.
