In this article, a D-shaped photonic crystal fiber based surface plasmon resonance sensor is proposed for refractive index sensing. Surface plasmon resonance effect between surface plasmon polariton modes and fiber core modes of the designed D-shaped photonic crystal fiber is used to measure the refractive index of the analyte. By using finite element method, the sensing properties of the proposed sensor are investigated, and a very high average sensitivity of 7700 nm/RIU with the resolution of 1.30 x 10(-5) RIU is obtained for the analyte of different refractive indices varies from 1.43 to 1.46. In the proposed sensor, the analyte and coating of gold are placed on the plane surface of the photonic crystal fiber, hence there is no necessity of the filling of voids, thus it is gentle to apply and easy to use.
