Photonic Crystal Fibers (PCF) were developed first by a research group of P. Kaiseret et al. in 1974 and investigated by J. C. Knight et al., it’s development and various applications which was followed by a huge interest of researchers in the field of optical communication and sensing. PCF provides new applicative features, which are different from conventional optical fibers. PCF can be classified in two categories, named as Solid Core PCF (SCPCF) and Hollow Core PCF (HCPCF). This paper showcases a novel structure which focuses on a hollow core PCF sensor working in the wavelength band of 1539 nm to 1549 nm for sensing hemoglobin and water components in blood.
The proposed novel Hollow core photonic crystal fiber structure is thus acting as a sensor for sensing hemoglobin and water components in blood in 1539 nm to 1549 nm range of wavelength giving maximum efficiency.
