Dual-side polished optical fiber SPR biosensor for enhanced sensitivity and versatile detection
摘要
In this study, we introduce a highly sensitive biosensor design utilizing a dual-side polished photonic crystal fiber (PCF) structure, evaluated through finite element method (FEM) simulations. The dual-side polishing approach enhances interaction with the evanescent field, thereby improving sensitivity while retaining the mechanical integrity of the structure. The sensor functions efficiently across a wide refractive index (RI) range of 1.21–1.40, making it suitable for detecting various biological fluids, gases, and chemical substances. It operates over a broad wavelength spectrum, spanning from 0.42
