Facet-Enhanced Dielectric Sensitivity in Plasmonic Metal Oxide Nanocubes

Benjamin J. Roman et al.

Summary: This study reports the dielectric sensitivity of fluorine and tin codoped indium oxide nanocubes and its dependence on their sharp faceting which gives rise to multiple plasmonic modes and on their tin-dopant concentration. It is found that the plasmon mode associated with the nanocube corners is the most sensitive and that raising dopant concentration increases dielectric sensitivity.

Polarization-Tuned Fano Resonances in All-Dielectric Short-Wave Infrared Metasurface

Anis Attiaoui et al.

Summary: Despite its importance in sensing and imaging applications, the short-wave infrared (SWIR) has been underexplored in metasurface-based nanophotonics due to the lack of material systems. In this study, an all-dielectric silicon-integrated metasurface is demonstrated to enable polarization-induced Fano resonance control at SWIR frequencies. By tuning the light polarization, the metasurface reflectance can be efficiently engineered, offering additional degrees of freedom for directional scattering and flow of light. This tunability is harnessed in nanosensors for efficient detection of refractive index changes.

Yujie Zhang et al.

Summary: The effect of localized lossy defects on high-index dielectric nanospheres is investigated using Mie scattering and multipole expansion theories. The scattering intensity can be controlled by tailoring the defect distribution, and the anapole mode remains unaffected by the introduction of loss in the strong field regions.

Strong field enhancement and hot spot manipulation based on anapole state in Si disk-ring metasurface

Shuo Tian et al.

Summary: In this work, a metasurface with disk-ring Si nanostructures on a SiO2 substrate is proposed and simulated. The Si disk-ring structure can excite and manipulate anapole state, and periodic array supports lattice resonance which improves the near-field enhancement in the gap region. The maximum E-field enhancement is 346 times, and a transmission dip with ultra-narrow bandwidth of 0.34 nm and Q-factor of 4460 is shown. When the central disk has an offset, the near-field enhancement can be affected, reaching up to 468 times in the case of y-direction offset. The designed metasurface also exhibits a sensing performance of 387 nm/RIU.

Wei Liu et al.

Summary: A microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) biochemical sensor based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is proposed for simultaneous detection of analytes with different states in internal and external environments.

Asymmetric tetramer metasurface sensor governed by quasi-bound states in the continuum

Yi Zhou et al.

Summary: Asymmetric metasurfaces supporting quasi-bound states in the continuum (BICs) have high Q-factors and strong light-matter interaction properties, making them attractive for label-free biosensing applications. This study compared several meta-atom geometries to determine the most practical choice for biosensing. The tetramer meta-atom design was found to have higher surface sensitivity and a larger size-to-wavelength ratio, while a greater depth enhanced surface sensitivity. Experimental demonstration of two asymmetric tetramer metasurfaces showed sharp high Q-factor resonances and polarization-insensitive features, with the thicker metasurface exhibiting higher surface sensitivity. These findings open new possibilities for high-performance biosensing and chemical-sensing applications.
