Abstract: |
In this paper, a ferroelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-coated porous polymer fiber based surface plasmon resonance
(SPR)-like gas sensor is proposed theoretically in the terahertz (THz) region based on the total internal reflection (TIR).
In such a sensor, the phase matching is achieved by changing the fiber parameters and the plasmon-like phenomenon at the interface
between the ferroelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) layer and the gaseous analyte is discussed. Using a fullvector finite-element
method, the core-mode loss of the fiber is calculated to measure the resolution of the sensor. The amplitude resolution is
demonstrated to be as low as 1.45 × 10−4 RIU, and the spectral resolution is 1.30 × 10−4 RIU in THz region, where RIU means the refractive index unit. |
