Abstract A multiple-mode metal-insulator-metal plasmonic sensor with four coupled bowtie resonators containing two pair of silver baffles is numerically investigated using the finite element method and verified by the temporal coupled-mode theory. The proposed structure can function as the plasmonic refractive index and glucose sensors working in visible and near-infrared wavelength range. Simulation results show that introducing the silver baffles in bowtie cavities can modify the plasmon resonance modes and give a tunable way to enhance the sensitivity and figure of merit. The highest sensitivity (S) can reach S=1500.00, 1400.00, and 1100.00 nm/RIU and the high figure of merit (FOM) of 50.00, 46.67, and 36.67 RIU-1 from mode 1 to mode 3. The sensitivity obtained from three modes with operating wavelengths in visible and near-infrared simultaneously exceeds 1100.00 nm/RIU along with remarkably high FOM, which are not attainable from other reported literature. The proposed structure can realize multi-mode and shows impressive practical prospects that can be applied for integrated optics circuits (IOCs) and other nanophotonics devices.

A plasmonic refractive index (RI) sensor based on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide coupled with concentric double rings resonator (CDRR) is proposed and investigated numerically. Utilizing the novel supermodes of the CDRR, the FWHM of the resonant wavelength can be modulated, and a sensitivity of 1060 nm/RIU with high figure of merit (FOM) 203.8 is realized in the near-infrared region. The unordinary modes as well as the influence of structure parameters on the sensing performance are also discussed. Such plasmonic sensor with simple framework and high optical resolution could be applied to on-chip sensing systems and integrated optical circuits. Besides, the special cases of bio- sensing and triple rings are also discussed.

Color Detection

Abstract In this paper, a six cavity-based metal-insulator-metal plasmonic sensor is proposed. The designed sensor can detect six primary colors in the visible wavelength. Moreover, the proposed sensor can also sense the change in the refractive index. An initial sensitivity of 648.41 nm/RIU and figure of merit of (FOM) 141.29 are found based on the transmittance profile extracted through the two-dimensional (2D) finite element method (FEM). The structural parameters are optimized to maximize the performance of the modeled device both as a color filter and a refractive index sensor. The optimized FOM, FOM* and sensitivity are recorded as 218.80, 4.771 × 10⁴, and 865.31 nm/RIU, respectively. Due to high FOM and FOM*, this sensor is expected to be utilized as a color filter in various sectors, such as medical, industrial, and forensic, where the light of a particular wavelength is mandatory.

Coating Method

In this paper, a novel and cost-effective photonic platform based on silica–titania material is discussed. The silica–titania thin films were grown utilizing the sol–gel dip-coating method and characterized with the help of the prism-insertion technique. Afterwards, the mode sensitivity analysis of the silica–titania ridge waveguide is investigated via the finite element method. Silica–titania waveguide systems are highly attractive due to their ease of development, low fabrication cost, low propagation losses and operation in both visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges. Finally, a ring resonator (RR) sensor device was modelled for refractive index sensing applications, offering a sensitivity of 230 nm/RIU, a figure of merit (FOM) of 418.2 RIU−1, and Q-factor of 2247.5 at the improved geometric parameters. We believe that the abovementioned integrated photonics platform is highly suitable for high-performance and economically reasonable optical sensing devices.
