Abstract
En 中文
To address the urgent demand for ultrasensitive low-temperature measurement technology, a novel D-shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) low-temperature sensor is proposed in this study. Based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect, the sensor adopts a silver nanofilm as the excitation layer and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the temperature-sensitive material for accurate temperature measurement. The finite element method (FEM) is adopted to simulate and optimize key parameters, including silver nanofilm thickness, polishing depth, and semi-axial dimensions of the elliptical air holes. Simulation results show that at -35℃ to 0℃, the average wavelength sensitivity of the x-polarized mode is 15.36 ~ 17.54 nm/℃ within the 1200 ~ 2500 nm band, and the value reaches 16.50 ~ 18.49 nm/℃ for the y-polarized mode in the 1200 ~ 2700 nm band. Featuring both high sensitivity and environmental adaptability, this low-temperature sensor can be widely applied in fields such as medical cryopreservation, polar environment monitoring, cold chain temperature control and industrial low-temperature process regulation.

(b) Linear fitting curve of temperature versus resonance wavelength for the x-polarized core mode of the sensor under corresponding structural parameters. (c) Linear fitting curve of temperature versus resonance wavelength for the y-polarized core mode of the sensor under corresponding structural parameters
