摘要

Metabolic disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and lipid abnormalities (DHOL) demand early, non-invasive detection to mitigate health risks. This study introduces a gold-coated photonic crystal fiber (PCF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor optimized for the near-infrared (NIR) spectrum (700–2500 nm), leveraging deeper tissue penetration and reduced scattering. The sensor design employs a quasi-honeycomb air-hole configuration in fused silica, coated with a 50 nm gold layer, to enhance refractive index (RI) sensitivity through localized SPR. Finite element simulations in COMSOL Multiphysics demonstrate strong coupling between the HE11-like core mode and surface plasmon polaritons, achieving resonance shifts proportional to biomarker concentrations. Key biomarkers (glucose, angiotensin II, leptin, cholesterol) were detected with sensitivities exceeding 92% and specificities above 90%, validated via a confusion matrix. A deep neural network (DNN) was integrated to predict optical parameters (core loss, confinement loss) from simulation data, reducing computation time by 99.99% compared to COMSOL. The DNN achieved mean absolute errors below 0.10 for core power and confinement loss predictions, enabling real-time analysis. This work bridges plasmonics, photonic engineering, and machine learning, offering a rapid, highly sensitive tool for metabolic disorder monitoring.
