Ceramic all-dielectric metamaterials are found to support very high Q resonances of the Fano-type, which until recently were largely attributed to the atomic physics phenomena. It is shown that proper arrangement of ceramic resonators in the metamaterial array allowsd for obtaining Q factors up to 15000. Thus high Q factors could be employed for new applications, in particular, for advanced sensing. An opportunity to design compact arrays that could be incorporated in a microwave sensor fed by a microstrip line is demonstrated. Numerical experiments have confirmed that Fano resonances in such arrays conserve high sensitivity to the dielectric permittivity of the controlled media.

This paper proposes a perfect metamaterial absorber based on a dielectric−dielectric−metal structure, which realizes ultra-narrowband dual-band absorption in the near-infrared band. The maximum Q factor is 484. The physical mechanism that causes resonance is hybrid coupling between magnetic polaritons resonance and plasmon resonance. At the same time, the research results show that the intensity of magnetic polaritons resonance is much greater than the intensity of the plasmon resonance. By changing the structural parameters and the incident angle of the light source, it is proven that the absorber is tunable, and the working angle tolerance is 15°. In addition, the sensitivity and figure of merit when used as a refractive index sensor are also analyzed. This design provides a new idea for the design of high-Q optical devices, which can be applied to photon detection, spectral sensing, and other high-Q multispectral fields.

We report the design and optimized fabrication of deformed whispering gallery mode resonators in silica with solely ICP-RIE. This allows us to control the morphology of the resonators more freely and results in low surface roughness. The light was coupled into the resonator using a state of the art tapered fiber approach and we determined the Q-factor in the range of 105

AbstractPoint-of-care (POC) devices are essential for rapid testing of samples for early diagnosis of diseases. The accuracy and the sensitivity of the POC device depend mainly on the biosensors. The currently used POC devices require specialized operating personnel, long sample preparation time and high equipment costs. We aim to explain a bio-sensing concept using a photonic crystal (PC) resonator that would mitigate the drawbacks of the present sensing techniques. Photonic crystals consist of spatially arranged dielectric materials presenting a band gap that prevents electromagnetic waves of certain frequency range to propagate through it. PC resonators have shown to have very high sensitivities for bio-sensing applications at THz frequencies. A PC resonator with a high Q-factor is designed and simulated to detect the changes in the surrounding dielectric permittivity. As an application for detecting specific biomolecules, a protocol for surface functionalization has been explained. This will enable the selective binding of biomolecules from the sample. Shift in resonant frequency and attenuation in magnitude at the peak resonant frequency can be observed from the simulation results. These changes in the resonator properties can be indicative of the presence of a particular biomolecule or pathogen and its concentration within the sample.

Terahertz (THz) absorbers are highly desirable in sensing and detection devices. Herein, we have proposed a 3D dual-band near-perfect absorber that works in the THz regime for sensing applications. The theoretical calculation shows that the absorption efficiency of the absorber can reach 99.0 and 97.0% at 1.125 and 1.626 THz, respectively. Double absorption peaks can be tuned independently by alternating the geometric parameters of unit resonators. The underlying physical mechanism of the absorber matches well with the well-known impedance matching theory. Compared with its planar counterpart, our proposed absorber exhibits a figure of merit enhancement of at least two times due to its out-of-plane induced large interfacial area. Additionally, the absorber can work robustly at a wide range of incident angles and keep insensitive to polarization states, which renders it great for highly sensitive sensing.
