Intrinsically core-shell plasmonic dielectric nanostructures with ultrahigh refractive index.
Topological insulators are a new class of quantum materials with metallic (edge) surface states and insulating bulk states. They demonstrate a variety of novel electronic and optical properties, which make them highly promising electronic, spintronic, and optoelectronic materials. We report on a novel conic plasmonic nanostructure that is made of bulk-insulating topological insulators and has a...
متن کاملUniversal 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 کاملRefractive index sensing with subradiant modes: a framework to reduce losses in plasmonic nanostructures.
Plasmonic modes with long radiative lifetimes, subradiant modes, combine strong confinement of the electromagnetic energy at the nanoscale with a steep spectral dispersion, which makes them promising for biochemical sensors or immunoassays. Subradiant modes have three decay channels: Ohmic losses, their extrinsic coupling to radiation, and possibly their intrinsic dipole moment. In this work, t...
متن کاملRefractive index sensing with Fano resonant plasmonic nanostructures: a symmetry based nonlinear approach.
Sensing using surface plasmon resonances is one of the most promising practical applications of plasmonic nanostructures and Fano resonances allow achieving a lower detection limit thanks to their narrow spectral features. However, a narrow spectral width of the subradiant mode in a plasmonic system, as observed in the weak coupling regime, is in general associated with a low modulation of the ...
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...
