Universal scaling of plasmonic refractive index sensors.
We establish experimental and numerical evidence that the refractive index sensitivities of various subwavelength plasmonic sensors obey a simple universal scaling relation that the sensitivities linearly increase with λm/neff (where λm is the resonant wavelengths and neff is the effective refractive index of the environment) and exhibit a slope equal to 1 instead of 2 predicted theoretically. ...
متن کاملUniversal scaling of the figure of merit of plasmonic sensors.
We demonstrate an improvement by more than 1 order of magnitude of the figure of merit (FoM) of plasmonic nanoparticle sensors by means of the diffractive coupling of localized surface plasmon resonances. The coupling in arrays of nanoparticles leads to Fano resonances with narrow line widths known as surface lattice resonances, which are very suitable for the sensitive detection of small chang...
متن کاملPlasmonic circular resonators for refractive index sensors and filters
A plasmonic refractive index sensor based on a circular resonator is proposed. With all three dimensions below 1 μm, the sensor has a compact and simple structure granting it ease-of-fabrication and ease-of-use. It is capable of sensing trace amounts of liquid or gas samples. The sensing properties are investigated using finite elements method. The results demonstrate that the plasmonic sensor ...
متن کاملPlasmonic Refractive Index Sensor with High Figure
A plasmonic refractive index (RI) sensor based on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) 11 waveguide coupled with concentric double rings resonator (CDRR) is proposed and investigated 12 numerically. Utilizing the novel supermodes of the CDRR, the FWHM of the resonant wavelength 13 can be modulated, and a sensitivity of 1060 nm/RIU with high figure of merit (FOM) 203.8 is realized 14 in the near-infrared...
متن کاملEngineering of parallel plasmonic-photonic interactions for on-chip refractive index sensors.
Ultra-narrow linewidth in the extinction spectrum of noble metal nanoparticle arrays induced by the lattice plasmon resonances (LPRs) is of great significance for applications in plasmonic lasers and plasmonic sensors. However, the challenge of sustaining LPRs in an asymmetric environment greatly restricts their practical applications, especially for high-performance on-chip plasmonic sensors. ...
