Numerical analysis of refractive index sensitivity of long-period gratings in photonic crystal fiber
چکیده انگلیسی

The modal coupling properties and resonance spectral response of long-period gratings (LPGs) in index-guiding photonic crystal fiber (PCF) are numerically investigated with respect to its sensitivity to changes in the index of refraction of the measurand in the PCF air channels using a full-vectorial mode solver combined with frequency-domain method. We show that the shift of wavelength resonance of a PCF-LPG structure can be extremely sensitive by appropriately designing the cladding air-channel dimension and geometry as well as the periodicity of the LPG inscribed in an endlessly single mode PCF (ESM-PCF-LPG). Specifically, a sensitivity of 4.3 × 10−8 refractive index unit (RIU) can be obtained in a refractive index range of 1.33 and 1.4 using an ESM-PCF-LPG with hexagonally arrayed 4-ring air channels at the grating periodicity of 1300 μm. A sensitivity of 4.1 × 10−7 RIU can be achieved in the range of 1.0–1.25 employing an ESM-PCF-LPG with similarly arrayed but 5-ring air channels at the grating periodicity of 350 μm. The predicted index sensitivity, coupled with other schemes for selectivity and specificity, opens the ESM-PCF-LPG structure for a variety of sensing and detection applications.
