“…The application of photonic crystals as gas sensors in the area of research seems to be very promising due to their miniaturization, high spectral sensitivity, portability, and security. Another interesting approach, based on photonic bandgap fibers (PBGF), is specifically used for the A tiny gas-sensor system based on 1D photonic crystal A Bouzidi 1 , D Bria 1,2 , A Akjouj 2 , Y Pennec 2 and B Djafari-Rouhani 2 concentration measurement of carbon dioxide [22], acetylene and hydrogen cyanide [23], or ammonia gases [24].…”
