Cancer Detection Using Au-Ta\(_2\)O\(_5\)-Coated PCF-Based SPR RI Sensor
摘要
With an emphasis on detecting the presence of cancer cells within a RI of 1.25 to 1.40, this paper introduces and quantitatively explores the usage of a straightforward plasmonic sensor based on a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) in the visible to near-infrared range for bio-analyte sensing. Using a finite element method (FEM) mode solver technique under the scattering boundary condition with a perfectly matched layer, the proposed sensor’s sensing and guiding properties are studied. Gold (Au), which is chemically nonreactive, and tantalum pentoxide (Ta
