Extremely Sensitive Photonic Crystal Fiber–Based Cancer Cell Detector in the Terahertz Regime

A new photonic crystal fiber (PCF)–based, hollow-core, optical waveguide is proposed and numerically investigated to quickly identify numerous species of cancerous cells in the human body. Typical and cancerous cells have different refractive indices (RIs), and via this characteristic, the other imp...

description A new photonic crystal fiber (PCF)–based, hollow-core, optical waveguide is proposed and numerically investigated to quickly identify numerous species of cancerous cells in the human body. Typical and cancerous cells have different refractive indices (RIs), and via this characteristic, the other important optical parameters are evaluated. The guiding properties of this proposed cancer cell sensor are analyzed in the COMSOL Multiphysics environment which used the finite element method as mathematical tool to solve differential equations. Furthermore, to ensure the highest simulation accuracy, extremely fine mesh elements are introduced. The simulation studies confirm that the proposed sensor, at 2.5 THz, achieves an extremely high relative sensitivity of almost 98% with negligible loss (
