Photonic crystals are periodic structures made of insulators. They are the best option to design biosensors. In this paper, a photonic crystal biosensor containing insulation rods in the air was designed and simulated. This biosensor was used as a photonic crystal circular nano-ring between the internal and external waveguides. At the end of the internal waveguide, a defect exists to create an increase in the coupling distance. This causes the quality factor and resonant wavelength displacement to increase. The purpose of designing this sensor is to check blood ingredients. After connecting to a measuring rod, this sensor shows different refractive indices. Another important characteristic of the proposed structure is that mostly radiuses of dielectric rods are identical. This causes the sensor construction to be easy. The plane-wave expansion (PWE) method is utilized to calculate the band structure. The results show that a photonic band gap (PBG) with a wavelength from 1.26 μm to 1.92 μm is created in this distance where no wavelength can spread.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
