The modulation of the electric field intensity distribution within the PCF is achieved by filling specific air holes with auxiliary liquid, leading to improved properties of the PCF-LSPR sensor. Moreover, the detection range of the sensor can be tailored by adjusting the RI of the auxiliary liquid. Using the full-vector finite element method (FEM), simulations of sensor performance are conducted. Results demonstrate that with an auxiliary liquid RI of 1.41, the sensor achieves a maximum RI sensitivity of 52438.02 nm/RIU and a detection range of 1.27–1.41. Similarly, with an auxiliary liquid RI of 1.43, the sensor achieves a maximum RI sensitivity of 46611.18 nm/RIU and maintains a detection range of 1.23–1.41. This approach allows for customization without altering the sensor geometry, facilitating the adjustment of the auxiliary liquid RI based on specific sensing requirements. Consequently, it offers tailored solutions for various sensing needs, thereby expanding the potential applications of PCF-LSPR sensors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":663,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Russian Laser Research","volume":"45 4","pages":"444 - 453"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143553833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We discuss the recent progress in studying classical, semiclassical, and quantum chaotic dynamics of cold atoms in two-dimensional and three-dimensional optical lattices with non-trivial geometry. The special attention is paid to classical versus quantum dynamics of atoms with the coupling between the internal and translational degrees of freedom. The dynamical mechanisms of transition to chaos and inhibition of the onset of chaos for atoms trapped inside wells of the optical potential and moving between different wells are discussed. We propose the experimental schemes that could distinguish between the regular and chaotic dynamics.
