2 May 2014Integrated coupled multi-stage plasmonic resonator for on-chip sensing
A sharp resonance, narrow bandwidth plasmonic cascaded nanofilter is proposed. The resonator is based on Metal-
Insulator-Metal (MIM) plasmonic waveguide which has the ability to confine light at sub-wavelength scale. The
proposed inline resonator features low loss, compact size, and good sensing characteristics which opens the door for
many nanophotonic applications. This structure can be used in many applications such as sensing, biomedical
diagnostics and on-chip optical interconnects. For example, it can be used as a highly effective integrated sensor with
sensitivity up to 3000 nm RIU-1.
