Abstract

We report an innovative design of a multi-core photonic crystal fibre based surface plasmon resonance temperature sensor using ethanol and benzene as temperature-sensitive materials with segmented outer-surface metal coating scheme. A stable sensing performance for a detection range of 10 ◦C to 80 ◦ C, was found while using ethanol as the temperature-sensitive material while using benzene both blue and red frequency shifts were observed. The maximum temperature sensitivity obtained from this proposed temperature sensor is 360 pm/◦C and 23.3 nm/◦ C with resolution of 2.78 × 10−1 ◦C or 4.29 × 10−3 ◦ C, respectively, when using ethanol or benzene as the sensing medium.
