The scheme of a generation of ultrasound waves based on optically excited Tamm plasmon structures is proposed. It is shown that Tamm plasmon structures can provide total absorption of a laser pulse with arbitrary wavelength in a metallic layer providing the possibility of the use of an infrared semiconductor laser for the excitation of ultrasound waves. Laser pulse absorption, heat transfer and dynamical properties of the structure are modeled, and the optimal design of the structure is found. It is demonstrated that the Tamm plasmon-based photoacoustic generator can emit ultrasound waves in the frequency band up to 100 MHz with predefined frequency spectrum.

This theoretical work focuses on the application of Tamm resonance-based biosensing using a one-dimensional photonic crystal for detecting skin vitiligo, a condition caused by the loss of pigment in the body. This biosensor utilizes the interaction of light with the photonic structure to identify the specific biomarkers associated with vitiligo. The proposed structure is composed of prism/Ag/skin-sample/(GaP/PS)/glass.

Article Synopsis
- Designing efficient near-infrared photodetectors integrated on silicon for telecommunications is a challenge, and this paper introduces a new silicon-based hot-electron photodetector that uses Tamm plasmons (Si-based TP-HE PD) for improved performance.
- The device features a one-dimensional photonic crystal, an Au layer, and a silicon substrate with a back electrode, which significantly increases absorption efficiency by reflecting light multiple times.
- Experimental results show a responsivity of 0.195 mA/W at 1400 nm, and the device's resonance wavelength can be tuned between 1200 nm and 1700 nm, highlighting its potential for affordable silicon optoelectronic applications.

The phase singularity, a sudden phase change occurring at the reflection zero is widely explored using various nanophotonic systems such as metamaterials and thin film cavities. Typically, these systems exhibit a single reflection zero with a phase singularity at a specific incident angle, particularly at larger angles of incidence (>50 degrees). However, achieving multiple phase singularities at a single incident angle remains a formidable challenge.

By inserting a mono-graphene embedded cavity layer, we realize the graphene-induced mode strong coupling (GCM), which is a strategy of a refractive index sensor by optimizing the cavity layer spacing. By adjusting the chemical potential of graphene, GCM is modulated.
