We propose a novel bio-sensor structure composed of slot dual-micro-ring resonators and mono-layer graphene. Based on the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT)-like phenomenon and the light-absorption characteristics of graphene, we present a theoretical analysis of transmission by using the coupled mode theory and Kubo formula. The results demonstrate the EIT-like spectrum with asymmetric line profile. The mode-field distributions of transmission spectrum are obtained from 3D simulations based on finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Our bio-sensor exhibits theoretical sensitivity of 330 nm/RIU, a minimum detection limit of [Formula: see text] RIU, the maximum extinction ratio of 4.4 dB, the quality factor of [Formula: see text] and a compact structure of [Formula: see text]. Finally, the bio-sensor’s performance is simulated for glucose solution. Our proposed design provides a promising candidate for on-chip integration with other silicon photonic element.

We propose a novel ultrasonic sensor structure composed of Cantilever arm structure slot dual-micro-ring resonators (DMRR). We present a theoretical analysis of transmission by using the coupled mode theory. The mode field distributions and sound pressure distributions of transmission spectrum are obtained from 3D simulations based on Comsol Multi-physics (COMSOL) method. Our ultrasonic sensor exhibits theoretical sensitivity as high as [Formula: see text], which is 22 times higher than that of the single slot-based micro-ring ultrasonic sensor. Our ultrasonic sensor offers higher sensitivity and a larger detection frequency range than conventional piezoelectric-based ultrasound transducer. The results show that the sensing characteristics of our system can be optimized through changing the position and the angle of sound field. Our ultrasonic sensor is with an area of [Formula: see text], the [Formula: see text]-factor can be approximately [Formula: see text] with radius of [Formula: see text]. We detect an angular range of [Formula: see text] to [Formula: see text] and a minimum distance of [Formula: see text]. Finally, we calculate the Cantilever arm structure slot DMRR array ultrasonic sensor’s optical performance. Our proposed design provides a promising candidate for a hydrophone.

The classical electromagnetically-induced transparency (EIT)-like switching in metamaterials was experimentally demonstrated in the microwave-frequency region. The metameterial unit cell consists of two identical split-ring resonators, which are arranged on both sides of a dielectric substrate with 90°-rotation asymmetry. In our scheme, the classical EIT-like switching can be achieved by changing the polarization of the incident electromagnetic wave.

The electrical control of plasmonic-induced transparency (PIT) via a resonator waveguide system is presented. The proposed structure is composed of a stub and cascade ring resonator. The ring and the stub resonator are filled with electro-optical material which can control the resonance frequency by the external voltage. Two-dimensional finite difference time domain (2D FDTD) method is used to calculate the transmission and field distribution. Single PIT is investigated both by FDTD and Coupled Mode Theory (CMT). The proposed PIT can be tuned by changing the external voltage or the geometric parameters. Double and triple PIT can be obtained by introducing more ring resonators and can be tuned by external voltage. The proposed plasmonic structure may have application in slow light device, nanoscale filter, all-optical switch and refractive index sensor.

A novel multifunctional device based on a hybrid metal–graphene Electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) metamaterial at the terahertz band is proposed. It is composed of a parallel cut wire pair (PCWP) that serves as a dark mode resonator, a vertical cut wire pair (VCWP) that serves as a bright mode resonator and a graphene ribbon that serves as a modulator. An ultra-broadband transmission window with 1.23 THz bandwidth can be obtained. The spectral extinction ratio can be tuned from 26% to 98% by changing the Fermi level of the graphene. Compared with previous work, our work has superior performance in the adjustable bandwidth of the transmission window without changing the structure of the dark and bright mode resonators, and has a high extinction ratio and dynamic adjustability. Besides, we present the specific application of the device in filters and optical modules. Therefore, we believe that such a metamaterial structure provides a new way to actively control EIT-like, which has promising applications in broadband optical filters and photoelectric intensity modulators in terahertz communications.

Abstract In this paper, a structure comprising a horizontal metal strip resonator(SR) and four C-shape ring resonators(CRRs) is proposed, obtaining a broadband electromagnetically induced transparency-like(EIT-like) effect. The SR and CRRs are classified into bright mode and dark mode depending on whether they can be directly excited by the incident electromagnetic wave. The three-level Λ -type system and electric field are used to explain the mechanism of EIT-like effect. Meanwhile, by decreasing the distance between SR and CRRs, a transparency window of 1.4THz with relative bandwidth of 91.93% is observed. It is found that when the bright and dark mode are directly contacted, the EIT window increases rapidly via conductive coupling, which can be explained by the surface current. Our work provides a new method for wide band EIT-like effect, which has certain value in the field of slow light, filter and non-linear optics.
