Photonic crystals, polystyrene, sensorAbstract
The potential uses for photonic crystals have attracted a lot of research interest. They can be employed as sensors thanks to their clearly defined physical properties, such as reflectance/transmittance, higher degrees of sensitivity producing precise detection limits, and the sparkling visual quality they present in the visible range of wavelengths. Connecting incident, reflected, and transmitted light to optical fibers allows for the sensing applications, which are then analyzed in distant locations. Responsive PhCs can be fabricated to sense chemicals, thermal and biological stimuli based on these characteristics. Evaluation of the product's cost-effectiveness and measurement accuracy in comparison to alternative approaches are essential for any sensing technology to be long-term viable. The minimal water absorption, rigidity, and low manufacturing costs of polystyrene make it a highly desirable material. This article examined some significant recent research on polystyrene-based photonic crystals that are thermo-, chemically-, and biologically sensitive.
