| Abstract: |
| Early identification of breast cancer plays a critical role in the treatment of patients and has the potential to significantly improve survival rates. This research introduces a novel biomedical sensor for breast cancer detection, based on a two-dimensional (2D) on-chip photonic crystal. The proposed sensor is designed, simulated, and evaluated, exhibiting exceptional performance when compared to other photonic detection methods. It achieves a remarkably high-quality factor, adequate sensitivity, and an extremely low detection limit for accurate detection of breast cancer. Furthermore, the sensor's design is characterized by its simplicity and can be fabricated using currently available technologies. The presented sensor achieves outstanding results with a quality factor of 13602, an exceptionally low detection limit of 3×10-5 RIU, a maximum figure of merit of 3303.4 RIU-1, and a remarkable sensitivity of 342.8 nm/RIU. A comprehensive comparative analysis is conducted between this study and relevant literature in the field of photonic-based cancer detection to validate the effectiveness and originality of the proposed sensor. |
