Abstract
A photonic crystal fiber based on a surface plasmon resonance sensor coated with segmented silver-titanium dioxide (Ag-TiO2) film is proposed for microfluid refractive index sensing. The sensing properties of the designed sensor are analyzed numerically by the full-vectorial finite element method. The results display that the wavelength sensitivity can be tuned by the thickness of the TiO2 film and segmented number and angle of the Ag-TiO2 film. It is observed that an average sensitivity of 6329 nm/RIU for refractive indexes ranging from 1.330 to 1.360, and a maximum wavelength sensitivity of 10600 nm/RIU with a high wavelength resolution of 9.43 x 10(-6) RIU, can be achieved in the sensing range of 1.350 to 1.355. In addition, it also shows a maximum amplitude sensitivity of 633.4001 RIU-1, and the maximum figure of merit is 303 with n(a) varying from 1.330 to 1.360, which can be applied to the field of chemical and biological analysis.
