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.

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.

Sensing Applications

In the phase-sensitivity-based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensing scheme, the highest phase jump usually happens at the darkness or quasi-darkness reflection point, which results in low power for detection. To overcome such a limitation, in this paper, a waveguide-coupled SPR configuration is proposed to work at near-infrared. The coupling between surface plasmon polariton (SPP) mode and photonic waveguide (PWG) mode results in electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) and asymmetric Fano resonance (FR). Near the resonance, the differential phase between p-polarized and s-polarized incident waves experience drastic variation upon change of the surrounding refractive index. More importantly, since the FR occurs at the resonance slope of SPP mode, the corresponding phase change is accompanied with relatively high reflectivity, which is essential for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) enhancement and power consumption reduction. Phase sensitivity up to 106 deg/RIU order with a minimum SPR reflectivity higher than 20% is achieved. The proposed scheme provides an alternative approach for high-performance sensing applications using FR.

Modulation Filtering

Fano resonances in metamaterial are important due to their low-loss subradiant behavior that allows excitation of high quality (Q) factor resonances extending from the microwave to the optical bands. Fano resonances have recently showed their great potential in the areas of modulation, filtering, and sensing for their extremely narrow linewidths. However, the Fano resonances in a metamaterial system arise from the interaction of all that form the structure, limiting the tunability of the resonances. Besides, sensing trace analytes using Fano resonances are still challenging. In the present work, we demonstrate the excitation of Fano resonances in metamaterial consisting of a period array of two concentric double-split-ring resonators with symmetry breaking (position asymmetry and gaps asymmetry). The tunability and sensing of Fano resonances are both studied in detail. Introducing position asymmetry in the metamaterial leads to one Fano resonance located at 0.50 THz, while introducing gaps asymmetry results in two Fano resonances located at 0.35 THz and 0.50 THz. The transmittance, position, and linewidth of the three Fano resonances can be easily tuned by varying the asymmetry deviations. The Q factor and figure of merit (FoM) of Fano resonances with different asymmetry deviations are calculated for performance optimization. The Fano resonances having the highest FoM are used for the sensing of analytes at different refractive indices, and the Fano resonance performing the best in refractive index sensing is further applied to detect the analyte thickness. The results demonstrate that the tunable Fano resonances show tremendous potential in sensing applications, offering an approach to engineering highly efficient modulators and sensors.

The Impact

Amorphous silicon PECVD photonic integrated devices are promising candidates for low cost sensing applications. This manuscript reports a simulation analysis about the impact on the overall efficiency caused by the lithography imperfections in the deposition process. The tolerance to the fabrication defects of a photonic sensor based on surface plasmonic resonance is analysed. The simulations are performed with FDTD and BPM algorithms. The device is a plasmonic interferometer composed by an a-Si:H waveguide covered by a thin gold layer. The sensing analysis is performed by equally splitting the input light into two arms, allowing the sensor to be calibrated by its reference arm. Two different 1 × 2 power splitter configurations are presented: a directional coupler and a multimode interference splitter. The waveguide sidewall roughness is considered as the major negative effect caused by deposition imperfections. The simulation results show that plasmonic effects can be excited in the interferometric waveguide structure, allowing a sensing device with enough sensitivity to support the functioning of a bio sensor for high throughput screening. In addition, the good tolerance to the waveguide wall roughness, points out the PECVD deposition technique as reliable method for the overall sensor system to be produced in a low-cost system. The large area deposition of photonics structures, allowed by the PECVD method, can be explored to design a multiplexed system for analysis of multiple biomarkers to further increase the tolerance to fabrication defects.
