Abstract
Two H-shaped photonic crystal fiber (H-shaped PCF) having circular holes whose inner ring is filled with air and ethanol respectively is proposed for sensing of temperature. It is suitable for detecting birefringence, negative dispersion, temperature and temperature sensitivity by finite element method. Simulation results are analyzed by Rsoft FEMSIM software which shows that sensor has good linearity. The sensitivity of H-shaped fiber after filling air is -0.77463 nm/oC and ethanol is -0.69434 nm/oC at wavelength of 1.55 μm. High value of birefringence 6.057 × 10-2 is obtained by the filling of ethanol at 1.55 μm. The proposed sensor can be used in many applications in food industry and medical testing.
