Benzene Shape Photonic Crystal Fiber Based Plasma Sensor: Design and Analysis

Abstract

Abstract A novel benzene core photonic crystal fiber (BC-PCF) is proposed for plasma sensing applications. The proposed BC-PCF parameters have been tuned to gain high sensitivity, high numerical aperture (NA), and low confinement loss, and modality over the extensive variety of 0.7 µm to 1.9 µm wavelength. The explored results for the ideal structure have exhibited the high sensitivity up to 77.84% and negligible confinement loss of 7.9 × 10-3 dB/m at 1.3 µm wavelength. The V-barometer remains under 2.405 over the whole working wavelength. So the proposed BC-PCF is a single mode fiber, which advances the long partition correspondence applications. Furthermore, high numerical aperture (NA) makes the fiber potential candidate in medical imaging applications. The plan of the sensor is to find out the creative potential outcomes in sensing applications.
