Designing hollow-core PCF sensors for high-performance terahertz detection of NaCN and KCN

Cyanide is very poisonous and raises environmental problems because of its industrial application and potential as a terrorist weapon. Given CN's toxicity and possible hazard to people, an effective and adaptive detection approach is needed. This specification suggests using a PCF to build a terahertz Hexagonal Core and Curved rectangular air holes sensor to detect NaCN and KCN. The recently created PCF analysis, which was promptly delivered, reveals an RS concentration of 99.62 % for NaCN and a maximum concentration of KCN is 99.08 %. In addition, we analyzed the Confinement Loss (CL) at a value of 5.88 × 10^-09 dB/m and 2.07 × 10^-05 dB/m, as well as EML at values of 0.0020 cm^-1 and 0.0026 cm^-1, accordingly, about these hazardous substances. The designed detector can identify NaCN and KCN at low concentrations even with small RI shifts due to its high sensitivity. Real-time NaCN and KCN detection and monitoring through nerve reflexes is essential for life-threatening conditions. It can selectively work in NaCN and KCN, ensuring accurate detection even in complex chemical compositions. Additionally, its tiny size allows for emergency use.
