Measurement of Sucrose Concentration Using Optical Metamaterial Structure Via FDTD Technique

Abstract

The current communication deals with the investigation of sucrose concentration in aqueous solution using copper-based metamaterial structure at a wavelength of 1550 nm. In this article, 5 × 5 air holes are engraved on a copper-based metamaterial structure, which contains the different concentration of sucrose in aqueous solution. Further, the present structure manipulates with finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique to compute the sucrose concentration. Moreover, different losses (absorption loss, dispersion loss, propagation loss, and polarization loss) are measured for the same. Nevertheless, similar type of papers have been published, the present paper has a couple of benefits including the method of computation (FDTD) and the output variation (linear ship) with the concentration. Apart from this, the present research shows the error bar, which deals with an accurate measurement. Again a mathematical model is also obtained, which gives the relationship between the sucrose concentration and the output intensity. Further, output results declared that transmitted intensity varies linearly with the concentration of sucrose. Lastly, a feeble error in the commutation proclaims an accurate investigation of sucrose in their aqueous solution with the help of a photonic structure.
