Abstract
We propose a sensor with high anti-interference ability using a photonic crystal cavity coupled system for simultaneous sensing of the refractive index (RI) and temperature (T) based on an electromagnetically induced transparency-like effect. A transparent window is achieved in the transmission spectrum through destructive interference between the air mode resonance and dielectric mode resonance in two one-dimensional photonic crystal structures. The T-sensitive material (SU-8) is used in the coupled system, promoting sensitivity and anti-interference ability. The ability of the system to simultaneously detect a small range of RI and T is demonstrated using three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulations and the fitting process. The RI sensitivities for the air and dielectric modes were 215 nm/refractive index unit (RIU) and 0 nm/RIU, respectively. The T sensitivities for the air and dielectric modes were 19 pm/K and ${-}{{83}}\;{\rm{pm/K}}$, respectively. The sensor resists external interference, enabling it to resist the error caused by readings. The footprint of the sensor is ${{29}} \times {1.8}\;\unicode{x00B5} {{\rm{m}}^2}$ (${\rm{length}} \times {\rm{width}}$), contributing to future optical on-chip integration sensor design.
