D-glucose sensor using photonic crystal fiber

We propose triangular lattice structured photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensor for sensing applications with attractive features for the detection of glucose concentration.The proposed sensor is numerically investigated using Finite Element Method (FEM). We have investigated the sensing property of the proposed photonic crystal fiber structure by varying the concentration of the D-glucose from 10%-60% which gives the average sensitivity of 19135.70 nm/RIU. We expect that this sensor can provide an effective platform for glucose sensing and potentially leading to a further development of optical sensing applications.
