Abstract
A hollow-core photonic crystal fiber-based THz sensor that enables to detect analytes at terahertz frequencies is presented in this study, which is characterized by its robustness. An analyte gets inserted in an asymmetrical rectangular hollow core with perfectly matched layer absorbent boundary condition. The efficiency of proposed sensor is evaluated utilizing COMSOL multiphysics (v5.5a) simulation technology based on the finite element technique. The proposed sensor's design simplicity makes things a lot easier. Fabrication, on the other side, makes it appropriate for a broad range of biological and industrial applications. A photonic crystal fiber biosensor has been studied for detecting cancerous cells. The proposed model's efficiency has been evaluated using MATLAB (v.2018a) software. The proposed sensor may work in the frequency range of 1.0–2.0 THz. Simulation results have been found to be good enough, with highly birefringence (0.0020) and lower confinement loss (17.33 × 10–9 cm−1). The proposed sensor's fabrication capabilities are further secured by its simplicity of implementation and can be utilized in bio-sensing application.
