Abstract

A zeonex-based rectangular cored photonic crystal fiber sensor is designed and applied for investigating a number of optical properties for sensing alcohols of variant classes. The finite element method-based commercial software is utilized for numerical analyses. Five variant classes of alcohols namely methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and pentanol are considered for the investigation. These analytes are injected into the rectangular core and the investigation is accomplished in the 1–2 THz regimes. The investigated results exhibit comparatively higher sensitivities of 93.3% for pentanol than the other alcohol variants. Besides, almost zero confinement loss profile is found for all the analytes just after 1.3 THz frequency. A trivial EML of 0.005 cm–1 is also attained from this simulation at 1.8 THz. Finally, the potentiality of this proposed sensor can be observed from the demonstration of different optical features like numerical aperture, effective area, core power fraction, and propagation constant. The anticipated sensor can achieve a larger sensitivity with negligible propagation losses at the same time.
