摘要
In this paper, we simulate a refractive index sensor based on the 2-D photonic crystal using finite difference time domain methods. The sensor which is called double-hole defect sensor, consists of two waveguides and two-point defect microcavities when the lattice constant is a = 440 nm. In the optimum structure, the sensitivity of the sensor is s = 500 nm/RIU (refractive index unit), whereas the refractive index resolution is very small and Delta n = 0.0001 (i.e., resonance wavelength shifts up by 0.05 nm).
