In this paper, dispersion equation of optical waveguide using metamaterial as buffer layer with non-linear cladding and substrate is pointed. The sensitivity of TE in metamaterial optical waveguide sensor is computed mathematically. The impacts of buffer layer with non-linear cladding and substrate on metamaterial optical waveguide sensor are also tried out. The effects of various parameters on sensitivity of sensor are obtained through MATLAB. It is expected that metamaterial as buffer layer with non-linear cladding and substrate profile has a huge application in leaky fibre sensor, gas sensor and chemical sensor for oil and under grounds mining industries.
