High Sensitivity Refractive Index Sensor Based on Multicoating Photonic Crystal Fiber With Surface Plasmon Resonance at Near-Infrared Wavelength

A pure silica core photonic crystal fiber with multicoating layers for high refractive index (RI) sensing is proposed. Au is used as the active plasmonic material. Tantalum pentoxide is deposited on Au in order to prevent the oxidation and further enhance the evanescent field. The simulation was pre...
