Abstract
Abstract A D-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with graphene-polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) stack was employed to determine the refractive index from 1.33 to 1.41 and improve the extinction ratio. The proposed sensor was numerically analyzed using the finite element method. The polishing depth, period of the graphene-PMMA stack, and number of graphene layers on the sensing performance of the proposed structure were evaluated. The results indicate that the spectrum and sensitivity may be modulated. The proposed sensor exhibits a wavelength sensitivity of 2200 nm/RIU, a wavelength resolution of 4.54 × 10−5 RIU, and linearity of 0.9918 with a high extinction ratio. Thus, this device has potential applications in PCF sensors.
期刊介绍:
Instrumentation Science & Technology is an internationally acclaimed forum for fast publication of critical, peer reviewed manuscripts dealing with innovative instrument design and applications in chemistry, physics biotechnology and environmental science. Particular attention is given to state-of-the-art developments and their rapid communication to the scientific community.
Emphasis is on modern instrumental concepts, though not exclusively, including detectors, sensors, data acquisition and processing, instrument control, chromatography, electrochemistry, spectroscopy of all types, electrophoresis, radiometry, relaxation methods, thermal analysis, physical property measurements, surface physics, membrane technology, microcomputer design, chip-based processes, and more.
Readership includes everyone who uses instrumental techniques to conduct their research and development. They are chemists (organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, nuclear, quality control) biochemists, biotechnologists, engineers, and physicists in all of the instrumental disciplines mentioned above, in both the laboratory and chemical production environments. The journal is an important resource of instrument design and applications data.
