Abstract
A Hexagonal-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with a circular analyte core bordered by six elliptical-shaped analyte channels is exemplified in this paper for gas and chemical sensing purposes. Fused silica is used as the pedestal fiber background of the sensor. The finite element method (FEM) is applied for numerical inspections. The sensor reveals maximum relative sensitivity of 85.55% for Benzene at 1.3 μm wavelength. The sensor displays ultra-low confinement loss of 1.309 × 10–11 dB/m for Benzene at 1.3 μm with a sensing range of 0.8–1.5 μm. The maximum V parameter value is of 2.235 for this sensor which secures single-mode propagation of light. This work also focuses on other vital properties just as, nonlinearity, effective area, mode field radius, and beam divergence for the usefulness of the sensor. Considering this sensor’s relative sensitivity, confinement loss, and other properties, this PCF can be a very favorable candidate in the field of gas and chemical sensing.
