@article{Islam2018TerahertzSI, title={Terahertz Sensing in a Hollow Core Photonic Crystal Fiber}, author={Md. Saiful Islam and Jakeya Sultana and Ahmmed A. Rifat and Alex Dinovitser and Brian Wai-Him Ng and Derek Abbott}, journal={IEEE Sensors Journal}, year={2018}, volume={18}, pages={4073-4080} }
A terahertz sensor based on a hollow core photonic crystal fiber has been proposed in this paper for chemical analyte detection in the terahertz frequency range. The Zeonex-based asymmetrical hollow core is filled with an analyte and surrounded by a number of asymmetrical rectangular air holes bounded by a perfectly matched layer with absorbing boundary conditions. The performance of the proposed sensor is numerically investigated by using finite element method-based COMSOL software. It is…
