This study presents a monolithic metal-organic framework (MOF)-based MIM resonator with tunable bandwidth through laser-processing microwell arrays. The reflection color of the resonator can be programmed by controlling the MOF layer thicknesses, and the sensing performance is enhanced by the microwell arrays, which facilitate the diffusion of external chemicals into the nanopores of the MOFs.
Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) configurations based on Fabry-Perot resonators have advanced the development of color filtering through interactions between light and matter. However, dynamic color changes without breaking the structure of the MIM resonator upon environmental stimuli are still challenging. Here, we report monolithic metal-organic framework (MOF)-based MIM resonators with tunable bandwidth that can boost both dynamic optical filtering and active chemical sensing by laser-processing microwell arrays on the top metal layer. Programmable tuning of the reflection color of the MOF-based MIM resonator is achieved by controlling the MOF layer thicknesses, which is demonstrated by simulation of light-matter interactions on subwavelength scales. Laser-processed microwell arrays are used to boost sensing performance by extending the pathway for diffusion of external chemicals into nanopores of the MOFs. Both experiments and molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that tailoring the period and height of the microwell array on the MIM resonator can advance the high detection sensitivity of chemicals.
