Multiple Fano resonance modes in an ultra-compact plasmonic waveguide-cavity system for sensing applications

We studied the metal-insulator-metal square ring resonator design incorporated with nano-dots that serve to squeeze the surface plasmon wave in the cavity of the ring. The E-field enhances at the boundaries of the nano-dots providing a strong interaction of light with the surrounding medium. As a result, the sensitivity of the resonator is highly enhanced compared to the standard ring resonator design. The best sensitivity of 907 nm/RIU is obtained by placing seven nano-dots of radius 4 nm in all four sides of the ring with a period (ᴧ)= 3r. The proposed design will find applications in biomedical science as highly refractive index sensors. Full Text: PDF References:Z. Han, S. I. Bozhevolnyi.

The Way

We have experimentally excited terahertz multipolar Fano resonances in two asymmetrical metal particles: a defective corrugated metallic disk(CMD) structure and a hybrid structure consisted of a C-shaped resonator and a CMD. Furthermore, the Fano resonance modes can also be excited by the interaction between plasmonic waveguide and CMD. Our findings have shed light into the terahertz multipolar Fano resonances in asymmetrical CMD and opened the way to the design of terahertz plasmonic devices.

Abstract The defected acoustic band gap materials are promising a new generation of sensing technology based on layered cavities. We introduced a novel 1D defected phononic crystal (1D-DPC) as a high-sensitive gas sensor based on the Fano resonance transmitted window. Our designed (Lead–Epoxy) 1D-DPC multilayer has filled with a defect layer with different gases at different temperatures. In this study, Fano resonance—based acoustic band gap engineering has used to detect several gases such as O2, CO2, NH3, and CH4. For the first time, Fano resonance peaks appeared in the proposed gas sensor structures which attributed to high sensitivity, Q-factor, and figure-of-merit values for all gases. Also, the relation between the Fano resonance frequency and acoustic properties of gases at different temperatures has been studied in detail. The effect of the damping rate on the sensitivity of the gas sensor shows a linear behavior for CO2, O2, and NH3. Further, we introduced the effect of temperature on the damping rate of the incident waves inside the 1D-DPC gas sensor. The highest sensitivity and figure of merit were obtained for O2 of 292 MHz/(kg/m3) and 647 m3/Kg, respectively. While the highest figure-of-merit value of 60 °C−1 at 30 °C was attributed to O2. The transfer matrix method is used for calculating the transmission coefficient of the incident acoustic wave. We believe that the proposed sensor can be experimentally implemented.

We analyze optomechanically induced Transparency and asymmetric Fano-line shape Profile in a two-mode cavity system, coupling at weak and strong coupling regimes. The model system consists of one mechanical mode and two optical modes. The transmission shows nonreciprocal behavior. Both the forward transmission and backward reflection for the system are analyzed for both optic-optic and mechanical-optic cavities by considering various system parameters. The output spectra lead to sharp asymmetric Fano-resonance and tunable transparency. Double line-shape profile is observed in the output Spectrum. Our proposal provides a new platform for application in quantum telecommunications and a photonic device like optical Switches.
