Abstract

In this work, a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensor designed to detect two types of breast cancer; MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7. The Full vectorial Finite Element Method (FV-FEM) with perfectly matched layers are used for numerical analyzes. The spectral interrogation method (SIM) is used to detect the refractive index (RI) variations of breast cancer cells. Also, the bending property of PCF is used to enhance the sensitivity performance. According to numerical results, the highest sensitivity results were obtained as 4500 nm/RIU for MDA-MB-231 and 4643 nm/RIU for MCF-7.
