Dual-polarized optical sensing of microstructure fiber with pentagonal-lattice based on surface plasmon resonance in the near-IR spectrum
2019
Abstract A dual-polarized microstructure fiber sensor is based on surface plasmon resonance, which is arranged of pentagonal lattice to achieve refractive index sensing in the near-infrared spectrum. The gold nanowire-filled fiber sensor exhibits excellent sensing characteristics and improved transmission properties. Finite element method is used for computational analysis and structural optimization for the fiber sensor. When the refractive index of the analyte range from 1.32 to 1.38, dual-polarizd sensing can be implemented as a self-calibration with wavelengths increasing from 700 to 1200 nm. For the proposed sensor, the highest wavelength sensitivity of 10,286 nm/RIU is exhibited with a sensor resolution of 9.72×10−6 RIU, and the corresponding amplitude sensitivity and figure of merit are as high as 544.0 RIU−1 and 146.9. Moreover, the sensing length of at least 1.14 mm ensures accurate detection of optical signals for proposed sensor. Owing to the above advantages, the proposed sensor is suitable for high integration and high precision sensitivity detection.
