Dual-parameter measurements of refractive index and methane concentration based on electromagnetic Fano resonance are proposed. Two independent Fano resonances can be produced through electric dipole and toroidal dipole resonance in an all-dielectric metasurface separately. The linear relationship between the spectral peak-shifts and the parameters to be measured will be obtained directly. The refractive index (RI) sensitivity and gas sensitivity are 1305.6 nm/refractive index unit (RIU), −0.295 nm/% for one resonance peak (dip1), and 456.6 nm/RIU, −0.61 nm/% for another resonance peak (dip2). Such a metasurface has simpler structure and higher sensitivity, which is beneficial for environmental gas monitoring or multi-parameter measurements.

Kualitas air merupakan faktor yang sangat penting dalam budidaya perikanan. Salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi kualitas air adalah konsentrasi amonia. Oleh karena itu dalam budi daya perikanan dibutuhkan sensor amonia untuk memantau konsentrasi amonia. Sensor berbasis optical microring resonator optik (MRRO) telah menarik banyak perhatian karena ukurannya yang sangat kecil dan sensitifitasnya yang lebih tinggi dibandingkan sensor lain. Dalam penelitian ini telah dirancang dan disimulasikan sensor amonia berbasis MRRO dengan jari-jari ring 5 μm, lebar waveguide 0,1 μm dan gap 0,1 μm. Sensor menunjukkan linearitas yang sangat baik dengan sensitifitas sensor sebesar 168,82 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) dan 0,0973 nm/% amonia dalam air, dan batas deteksi 0,1% konsentrasi amonia dalam air.Water quality is a very important factor in aquaculture. One of the factor that determines water quality is ammonia concentration. Therefore, in aquaculture ammonia sensor is needed to monitor ammonia concentration. Optical microring-resonator(OMRR)-based sensors have gained a lot of interest because of it’s small size and higher sensitivity compared to other sensors. In this research, an OMRR-based ammonia sensor with ring radius of 5 μm, waveguide width of 0,1 μm, and gap of 0,1 μm has been designed and simulated. The sensor showing a very good linearity with sensor’s sensitivity of 168,82 nm/RIU (refractive index unit) and 0,0973 nm/% ammonia in the water, and detection limit of 0,1% ammonia on the water.

AbstractA high-sensitive numerical measurement of methane based on the combined use of the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) and Fano resonance in a slotted metal-dielectric-metal (MDM) periodic structure is numerically investigated. A groove is etched in an original MDM structure to excite the diploe mode at both sides of the groove, and the coherent coupling of two dipole modes is enhanced to realize a fast response, which is beneficial to gas-sensing. The influence of geometric parameters on the reflection spectra and methane sensitivity are analyzed to obtain optimal geometry. Moreover, an etching ring is introduced on the top metal to further raise the coupling area and coupling strength. The Fano resonance is subtly integrated into the optimized structure with asymmetry to achieve greater gas sensitivity. After the introduction of the Fano resonance, the field enhancement caused by the LSPR effect becomes greater and the methane sensitivity can reach up to 8.421 nm/% in numerical calculations, which increases 56.8% more than that of the original one. The combined use of the LSPR and Fano resonance in an optimized MDM structure provides an effective method for high-sensitive gas detection.

Abstract We experimentally and theoretically investigate Fano-like resonance in large-area Au/SiO2/Au nano-patches meta-structure, which is originating from the coupling between Fabry Perot resonance and magnetic dipole resonance modes. A highly sensitive refractive index sensor based on the lineshape analysis is obtained. The extracted wavelength shift with the amount of substance of Hg2+ changing from 10-3 pmol to 1 nmol has a linear dependence, and the sensitivity can reach to ultra-low limit of detection (LOD) as 10-3 pmol. This study may provide an approach for the development and modification in sensing.

We reveal that an isotropic, homogeneous, subwavelength particle with high refractive index can produce ultra-small total scattering. This effect, which follows from the inhibition of the electric dipole radiation, can be identified as a Fano resonance in the scattering efficiency and is associated with the excitation of an anapole mode in the particle. This anapole mode is non-radiative and emerges from the destructive interference of electric and toroidal dipoles. The invisibility effect could be useful for the design of highly transparent optical materials. This article is part of the themed issue ‘New horizons for nanophotonics’.

This paper has proposed and experimentally demonstrated an integrated Co2+-doped microfiber Bragg grating sensor (Co-MFBGS) that can measure the surrounding liquid refractive index (LRI) and liquid flow rate (LFR) simultaneously. The Co-MFBGS provides well-defined resonant modes of core and cladding in the reflection spectrum. By monitoring the wavelength of the cladding mode, the LRI can be measured; meanwhile, by monitoring the wavelength of the core mode caused by the heat exchange, the LFR can be measured. The LRI and LFR can be distinguished by the wavelength separation between cladding mode and core mode. The experimental results show that in aqueous glycerin solution, the maximum measurement sensitivity for LRI detection is −7.85 nm/RIU (refractive index unit), and the LFR sensitivity is −1.93 nm/(μL/s) at a flow rate of 0.21 μL/s.

This work proposed a multiple mode Fano resonance-based refractive index sensor with high sensitivity that is a rarely investigated structure. The designed device consists of a metal–insulator–metal (MIM) waveguide with two rectangular stubs side-coupled with an elliptical resonator embedded with an air path in the resonator and several metal defects set in the bus waveguide. We systematically studied three types of sensor structures employing the finite element method. Results show that the surface plasmon mode’s splitting is affected by the geometry of the sensor. We found that the transmittance dips and peaks can dramatically change by adding the dual air stubs, and the light–matter interaction can effectively enhance by embedding an air path in the resonator and the metal defects in the bus waveguide. The double air stubs and an air path contribute to the cavity plasmon resonance, and the metal defects facilitate the gap plasmon resonance in the proposed plasmonic sensor, resulting in remarkable characteristics compared with those of plasmonic sensors. The high sensitivity of 2600 nm/RIU and 1200 nm/RIU can simultaneously achieve in mode 1 and mode 2 of the proposed type 3 structure, which considerably raises the sensitivity by 216.67% for mode 1 and 133.33% for mode 2 compared to its regular counterpart, i.e., type 2 structure. The designed sensing structure can detect the material’s refractive index in a wide range of gas, liquids, and biomaterials (e.g., hemoglobin concentration).

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.
