This paper presents a theoretical study on a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) surface plasmon resonance biosensor. The proposed PCF sensor introduces the concept of simultaneous detection with H E-11(x) and H E-11(x) modes, which opens up some possibilities for multianalyte/multichannel sensing. Analysis was performed which considered the operation of the sensor in both amplitude and wavelength interrogation modes. Typical sensor resolutions of 4 x 10(-5) RIU and 8 x 10(-5) RIU with respect to H E-11(x) and H E-11(y), respectively, are reported for the amplitude interrogation mode, while resoutions of 5 x 10(-5) RIU and 6 x 10(-5) RIU are reported for H E-11(x) and H E-11(y), respectively, for the wavelength interrogation mode.
