high sensitivity

In this paper, we propose and numerically characterize the optical characteristics of a dual eccentric-core D-shaped photonic crystal fiber surface plasmon resonance refractive index sensor. The dual eccentric-core structure can leak more power to plasma film to excite SPR phenomenon than conventional structures. We investigate the influences induce by diameter of air holes, distance between air holes and thickness of gold film. The results show that our sensor has the wavelength sensitivities of 44,000 nm/RIU for odd mode and 39,000 nm/RIU for even mode.
