Abstract

We design a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based gas sensor, which works based on evanescent field, by introducing a steering-wheel shape of large noncircular air-hole structure in the cladding region. Further, using the full-vectorial finite element method (FEM), we compute the relative sensitivities of the proposed sensor as 83% and 91% when the operating frequencies are 1THz and 0.5THz, respectively. The proposed sensor is suitable for detecting any kind of chemical and biological gases.
