Abstract
A sensing device composed of an eccentric core photonic quasi-crystal fiber based on surface plasmon resonance is designed using indium tin oxide (ITO) as the sensitive materials. The ITO film is deposited on the outside surface of the fiber to excite plasmonic interactions and facilitate refractive index (RI) detection. This eccentric core structure makes the evanescent field coupled effectively with analyte to achieve higher sensitivity. The influence of RI and structural parameters of different analytes on sensor performance was calculated by the finite-element method. In the analyte RI range between 1.33 and 1.39, the wavelength sensitivity reaches 21,100 nm/RIU, and the average sensitivity of 8750 nm/RIU is achieved at a resolution of . The sensor has large potential in the detection of unknown RI analytes in the near-infrared region.
