Refractive index sensor using dual core photonic crystal fiber – glucose detection applications

Publication date: December 2018Source: Results in Physics, Volume 11Author(s): S. Maheswaran, P.G. Kuppusamy, S.M. Ramesh, T.V.P. Sundararajan, P. YupapinAbstractThe article reports the numerical analysis of refractive index sensor using dual core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) which is aided for the detection of glucose concentration contains in the blood samples of humans. The sensing mechanism is facilitated by tuning the coupling between the silica mode and analyte mode. The change in concentration of glucose is reflected as shifts in the transmission spectrum. The sensitivity is reported as 8333 nm/[RIU] for the samples variation as 10 g/l to 20 g/l with the function of resonance wavelength.
