A new methane sensor based on compound film-coated photonic crystal fiber and Sagnac interferometer with higher sensitivity

A modified D-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based on Sagnac interferometer is proposed for methane concentration sensing. Two ultra-large air holes with methane-sensitive film are distributed horizontally in the PCF to shorten response time. Besides, a defect hole is introduced into the fiber c...
