Design of a plasmonic sensor based on a square array of nanorods and two slot cavities with a high figure of merit for glucose concentration monitoring.

In this paper, a plasmonic nanosensor, by using a nanorod array in a square resonator coupled with two slot cavities, with properties for the detection of glucose concentration in water, is proposed and analyzed. We investigated the sensing feature by changing the concentration of the glucose from 0 to 60%. Obtained results show that, by placing different water samples in a square resonator and two cavities, resonance wavelengths can be changed.

Optoelectronic application of graphene nanoribbon for mid-infrared bandpass filtering.

In this study, an ultra-compact optoelectronic bandpass filter is proposed. A single piece of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) is placed between two input-output GNRs to form a Fabry-Perot-like cavity. The GNR, as a mid-infrared surface waveguide, enhances the compatibility with complementary metal oxide-semiconductor processing technologies.
