Abstract

A design of a photonic crystal nanocavity based bio-sensor having a footprint of $12 \times 8\;{{\unicode{x00B5}{\rm m}}^2}$ is proposed to detect different blood components. A finite difference time domain (FDTD) numerical technique has been used to characterize the sensor by evaluating its frequency response. The shift in resonant wavelength of the proposed cavity is utilized to detect blood refractive index fluctuation due to the presence of various components. The obtained numerical findings show that the maximum sensitivity for a shift in resonant wavelength is reported as 760 nm/RIU for various blood components. Moreover, the fabrication of PhC is always prone to the fabrication induced disorders. Hence, the impact of fabrication imperfections on the sensor’s performance also has been included in the analysis.
