This review article discusses the properties and applications of photonic crystals, with a focus on slow-light phenomenon and enhanced sensing for gases and liquids. It also discusses the challenges in fabrication and highlights the importance of high-sensitivity detectors for ubiquitous monitoring.
Photonic crystals (PhCs) are periodically structured dielectric materials that have attracted significant research interest in the last two decades for their ability to slow down the group velocity of a propagating pulse envelope with promising sensing applications. This review article discusses the properties of 2-D PhCs including the slow-light phenomenon, bandgap generation, and application of these properties for gas and liquid sensing. Waveguide generation by introducing defects with light guiding and confinement is discussed. In addition, for 2-D PhC line waveguides, a comprehensive review on the slow-light principle and phenomenon of slow-light enhanced sensing for gases and liquids is discussed. 1-D and 3-D PhCs are also reviewed for bandgap generation and defects in PhCs along with present fabrication challenges and future trends. Our study highlights an increase in the detection capabilities of PhC-based sensors paving way for high-sensitivity detectors with applications in ubiquitous monitoring of gases and liquids.
