Development of an Optical Crystal Fiber Sensor for Early Detection of Tuberculosis
Keywords:
Confinement loss, effective area, photonic crystal fiberAbstract
To this day, tuberculosis remains one of the most severe threats to public health on a global scale, which is why there is a pressing need for the development of diagnostic techniques that combine high levels of precision, speed in producing findings, mobility, and risk reduction. This work's planned scope is constructing a photonic crystal fiber sensor with a susceptible non-complex core intended to detect tuberculosis at wavelengths ranging from 1 µm to 2.2 µm. This study introduces an innovative biomedical photonic crystal fiber sensor capable of accurately detecting tuberculosis bacteria across all four strains and effectively distinguishing between them. To carry out numerical studies, the proposed structure uses a technique known the full-vector finite element method (FV-FEM). Compared to earlier biomedical sensors based on photonic crystal fiber, the sensor that has been developed demonstrates an exceptionally high relative sensitivity in detecting various kinds while also displaying a deficient level of loss. The proposed sensor has an effective size of 38 µm2, a sensitivity of 99.9%, and a low confinement loss of 10-11 dB/m. To validate the usefulness of the proposed layout and establish its integrity, a detailed analysis is performed by contrasting the results of this study with the most current research published on photonic crystal fiber.
