Abstract

A high-sensitivity photonic quasi-crystal fiber surface plasmon resonance (PQF-SPR) methane sensor is designed and analyzed. The six-fold Penrose PQF has a D-type structure with two grooves on which TiO₂ and Au films are deposited, and methane-sensitive film containing cryptophane-E is coated on the surface of the D-type structure. The characteristics of the sensor are analyzed by the finite element method and the influence of different coating materials (Au-TiO₂, Au-MgF₂, Au-ITO) on the sensitivity and FOM of the sensor is analyzed and compared. The results show that the PCF-SPR sensor with the dual Au-TiO₂ film has better sensing properties. The maximum wavelength sensitivity and average wavelength sensitivity reach 40 nm/% and 34.74 nm/% in the methane concentration range of 0–3.5 % respectively. These properties are significantly better than those of similar sensors reported recently, and the sensor thus has large potential in the development of high-sensitivity and miniaturized methane sensors. © 2024 Published by Elsevier Inc.
