We demonstrate the use of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) joined in between two single mode fibers (SMF) as a concentra-tion sensor. To realize this, one micrometer length PCF of hexagonal lattice is sandwiched between two SMF having one micrometer length each. To maximize the coupling between SMF and PCF, the core diameters are made equal. Then the output from a given input through this structure is analyzed with respect to different concentrations in the air holes of PCF using Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method. It is found that the variation of electric field inten-sity at the output is linear with respect to concentration of alcohol. |
