Abstract

A highly sensitive dual-core photonic quasicrystal fiber methane sensor based on surface plasmon resonance is designed and analyzed. In this sensor, cryptophane E is doped with polysiloxane and Ag and used as the sensitive film and plasma medium, respectively, for sensitive detection of methane. The influence of the structural parameters on the sensor properties is analyzed by the finite element method. The optimized dual-quasi-D-shape structure has excellent methane-sensing properties such as maximum and average wavelength sensitivities of 14 and 10.98 nm/%, respectively, in the methane concentration range of 0%–3.5%. The sensitivity is better than that of similar sensors reported previously.
