Design of ring-type surface plasmon resonance terahertz microstructured optical fiber biosensor for brain tumor diagnosis

  • 摘要: 脑肿瘤的早期诊断仍面临挑战,尤其是在无创、快速且高灵敏度的检测技术方面。优化设计了一种用于脑肿瘤诊断的环型表面等离子体共振太赫兹微结构光纤生物传感器。该传感器采用外传感方式,其外部包层涂覆聚偏二氟乙烯(polyvinylidene fluoride, PVDF)作为激发层,从而实现PVDF与检测生物分析物之间的强耦合作用。基于全矢量有限元法对光纤结构参数进行优化,并对其传感性能进行深入探究。研究结果表明,在分析物折射率1.38~1.51范围内,该传感器的最大振幅灵敏度达到−125.95 RIU−1,最大品质因数为71.87 RIU−1,且折射率分辨率高达10−7量级。此外,容差分析结果表明,传感器在±2%的制备容差范围内仍能保持稳定性能,证明了其良好的制备可行性。所设计的生物传感器对生物医学领域脑肿瘤组织的早期诊断具有重要意义。

     

    Abstract: The early diagnosis of brain tumors remains challenging, particularly in terms of non-invasive, rapid, and highly sensitive detection techniques. In this paper a ring-type surface plasmon resonance terahertz microstructure optical fiber biosensor was optimal designed for precise detection and differentiation between healthy and tumorous brain tissues. The sensor employs an external sensing mechanism, with its outer cladding coated with PVDF as the SPR excitation layer, enabling strong coupling between PVDF and target bioanalytes. The structural parameters of the fiber were optimized using the full-vector finite element method, and the sensing performance was systematically analyzed.Experimental results demonstrate the biosensor achieves a maximum amplitude sensitivity of −125.95 RIU−1, a superior figure of merit of 71.87 RIU−1, and refractive index resolution on the order of 10−7 in the effective refractive index (RI) range of 1.38~1.51. In addition, the tolerance analysis results show that the sensor can maintain stable performance within a ±2% fabrication tolerance range, demonstrating its good fabrication feasibility. The optimized biosensor holds substantial potential for early-stage brain tumor diagnosis in biomedical field applications, offering high sensitivity and resolution to advance clinical detection and improve patient outcomes.
