Abstract A newer and efficient solid core with air holes and ring based circular photonic crystal fiber (C-PCF) design is proposed, developed, and studied. The C-PCF structure with a ring core and three layers of air holes is developed to communicate terahertz frequency of the range of 1 THz to 3 THz. Finite element method (FEM) is used to optimize the position, shape and dimensions of air holes and refractive index (RI) of material for the proposed PCF design and check the efficiency to support different orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes for communication. Our novel designed C-PCF supports multiple stable modes with mode purity above 0.9. Confinement loss is in the range of 10-12 dB/cm, highest effective mode area in the order of 1 mm2 is achieved in the investigated study for 3 THz transmission. The study observes that the performance of PCF is strongly dependent on RI of core and cladding.

In this paper, we theoretically designed and numerically studied a high-resolution and ultrasensitive photonic crystal fiber temperature sensor by selective filling of a liquid with high thermo-optic coefficient in one of the airholes of the fiber. The finite element method was utilized to study the propagation characteristics and the modal birefringence of the fiber under different ambient temperatures. A large base birefringence value of 7.7 × 10−4 as well as a large birefringence sensitivity of almost 29% to a 10 °C temperature variation was achieved for the optimized fiber design with liquid chloroform between 15 °C and 35 °C. We also studied the performance of the proposed optical fiber in a temperature sensing Sagnac interferometer. An average linear temperature sensitivity of 17.53 nm/°C with an average resolution of 5.7 × 10−4 °C was achieved over a temperature range of 20 °C (15 °C to 35 °C).

Abstract A high sensitivity near-infrared photonic crystal fiber (PCF) refractive index sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is proposed in this paper. The sensing performance of the PCF refractive index sensor is calculated and analyzed by using the finite element method (FEM). The coated metal material selects for chemically stable gold, which is used to induce SPR. The resonant coupling will occurs when the phase matching condition is met between the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode and the fundamental mode. The influence of the diameter of the central hole and the thickness of the gold film on the resonance wavelength and the confinement loss was studied. Numerical results demonstrate that the average sensitivity of the sensor can reach to 3200nm/RIU, which can be used in the field of refractive index detecting.
