| dc.description.abstract | Abstract|In this paper, a novel high-sensitive mid-infrared photonic crystal-based slotted-waveguide coupled-cavity sensor to behave as a refractive index sensing device is proposed at a mid-infrared wavelength of 3.9 m. We determine the sensitivity of our sensor by detecting the shift in the resonance wavelength as a function of the refractive index variations in the region around the cavity. Comparison shows that mid-infrared photonic crystal-based slotted-waveguide coupled-cavity has higher sensitivity to refractive index changes than mid-infrared photonic crystal-based slotted-waveguide. The sensitivity can be improved from 938 nm/per refractive index unit (RIU) to 1161 nm/RIU within the range of n = 1{ 1.05 with an increment of 0.01 RIU in the wavelength range of 3.3651 m to 4.1198 m by creating a microcavity within the proposed structure, calculated quality factor (Q-factor) of 1:0821 107 giving a sensor gure of merit (FOM) up to 2:917 106, and a low detection limit of 3:9 106 RIU. Furthermore, an overall sensitivity is calculated to be around S = 1343:2 nm/RIU for the case of higher refractive indices of analytes within the range of n = 1{1.2 with an increment of 0.05 RIU. The described work and the achieved results by performing 2D- nite-difference time-domain (2D-FDTD) simulations con rm the ability to realize a commercially viable miniaturized and highly sensitive mid-infrared photonic crystal- based slotted-waveguide coupled-cavity sensor. | en_US |
