THEORETICAL STUDIES ON HEMOGLOBIN PERIODIC STRUCTURE SENSOR


In the present study, we have obtained a blood hemoglobin (Hb) sensor using binary defective one-dimensional photonic crystal. The structure is composed of Air/Diamond/SiO2)NHb /Diamond/SiO2)S/SiO2 and the defect layer is filled by hemoglobin solution. The numerical calculations are based on transfer matrix method (TMM). The defect peak showed well shifting of the defect peak frequency by increasing the hemoglobin concentration; the wavelength shifted due to the change of hemoglobin concentration; from 679.5 nm at the 0g/dL to 682.3 nm at 28.7 g/dL. The presented idea is very simple, and can potentially attract a wider audience when one considers the fact of constantly rising interest of the scientific community (especially biologists and physicians) in the diagnostic methods utilizing different types of the optical phenomena.
