Design of hexagonal shaped spectroscopy based biosensor for the detection of tuberculosis

Abstract

A proposal has been made to identify tuberculosis cells using a novel compact sensor based on photonic crystal fiber: PCF in accordance with hexagonal spectroscopy. This proposed structure, which consists of a closely packed hexagonal air hole in the cladding region and a hollow-core area, possesses a very low loss of 6.30 × 10−8 dB/m and an exceptionally high sensitivity of up to 91.75 % (tuberculosis cell for 1.345). Numerous optical parameters have been identified and assessed, comprised of the numerical aperture, the V-parameter, or normalized frequency (Veff), and the effective area (Aeff). The operational wavelength range is defined as 0.80–3.0 THz. The numerical investigation of the properties of the proposed TB sensors is performed within the environment of COMSOL Multiphysics (Version 5.3) using FV-FEM stands for the full vector finite element method. PCF sensors composed of hexagonal lattice in a circular form with ZEONEX as the backdrop material is intended to boost the sensitivity response in comparison to the earlier works. Additionally, the sensor that is being displayed achieves a single modality throughout its whole operational wavelength range. This proposed sensor may play a significant role in identifying tuberculosis thanks to its superior sensitivity response and extremely minimal confinement loss. So, it is clearly seen that this sensor could be used to bio-medical sectors with process of terahertz (THz) wave pulse.
