We proposed a three-layer waveguide as an optical sensor for homogeneous sensing applications. A guiding layer of the proposed structure is considered as lossy left-handed material (LHM) with simultaneously the complex negative electric permittivity µ and the complex negative magnetic permeability µ. We also assume a cladding layer to have an intensity-dependent refractive index. Sensitivity of the proposed optical waveguide sensor is derived and its dependence on different parameters of a waveguide is studied.
