The effects of geometric parameters, metal film thickness, liquid refractive index, and optical material refractive index on polarization filtering and sensing characteristics are analyzed by the finite element method (FEM). The proposed PCF shows single-polarization filtering in communication window and has ultra-high corresponding bandwidth. At the 1.55 µm communication window band, the confinement loss of the y-polarized core mode is 819.27 dB/cm, while the x-polarized core mode is only 3.45 dB/cm. The crosstalk (CT) reached a maximum of 708.6 dB in the communication bands, and the corresponding bandwidth reaches 1000 µm when the fiber length is 1 mm. Meanwhile, the D-type PCF is widely used in sensing because it avoids filling the gold film and analyte in the internal pores. The change in the thickness of the mental coating from 39 nm to 22 nm provides the proposed PCF with sensing properties. By reducing the refractive index of fiber material, the maximum sensitivity is 10,741 nm/RIU. When the refractive index measurement range of the analyte is specified from 1.33 to 1.36, the average sensitivity reaches 7313 nm/RIU. Good performance enables the proposed compatible filtering and sensing PCF may be used in a wide range of scenarios.","PeriodicalId":13547,"journal":{"name":"Instrumentation Science & Technology","volume":"50 1","pages":"668 - 683"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45077064","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first use of GeSe in an optical fiber sensor is reported in this study. A U-shaped optical fiber-GeSe-Au sensor is proposed. As a two-dimensional material with comparable physical characteristics to GeSe, MoS2 is compared to GeSe to characterize its influence upon the sensitivity. The sensitivity of fiber-GeSe-Au sensor is 7398.1 nm/refractive index unit (RIU), which is nearly twice as sensitive as a gold film SPR sensor and 1.5 times as sensitive as a sensor utilizing MoS2 nanosheets with the same structure.

The Au film was deposited on the optical fiber by controlled vacuum sputtering to monitor the thickness. The MoS2 nanolayer was deposited on the surface of the gold film by electrostatic adsorption and the hexagonal boron nitride nanolayer was subsequently superimposed to complete the preparation.
