One-Dimensional Photonic Crystal Inner Coated Hollow Fiber Sensor Based on Bloch Surface Wave With Ultra-High Figure of Merit

A high-performance Bloch surface wave (BSW) sensor based on the hollow fiber (HF) inner coated with the one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) consisting of TiO2 and SiO2 bilayers is proposed. Performances including sensitivity and figure of merit (FOM) of the sensor are investigated theoretically...
