Abstract:Spoof localized surface plasmons (LSPs) have proven significant advantages in sensing and detection. In this work, we propose a high-Q-factor and high-sensitivity hybridized spoof LSP sensor and a mixed-resolution algorithm. The sensor consists of two concentric inner and outer LSP structures with corrugated rings coupled to each other. The achieved Q-factor is up to 178, and the sensing figure of merit (FoM) is up to 30. Moreover, a mixed-resolution algorithm, combined with multiple resonant peaks, is propose… Show more

We report experimentally high-Q resonances arising from quasi-bound states in the continuum (quasi-BICs), supported by spoof localized surface plasmon (SLSP) structures with broken symmetry. The influence of structural asymmetric parameters on the Q-factors of SLSP resonance is studied with numerical simulations and experiments, and the supercavity mode with small spectral width is observed as the central displacement of the SLSP structure is approaching zero. Our investigation has demonstrated a new mechanism in suppressing the radiation loss of SLSP structures, holding promise for sensing applications with high sensitivity.

“…Since proposed firstly by Pendry in 2012, the SLSP structure has undergone the process from bulk to planar implementation. [21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] Owing to the flexibility of SLSP structures, the quality factor (Q factor) can be further enhanced by reconstructing structural parameters, improving the sensitivity. [22] In addition, when the relative dielectric constant around the SLSP resonance structure changes, the corresponding frequency shifts are useful for sensing and medical applications.…”

“…[22] In addition, when the relative dielectric constant around the SLSP resonance structure changes, the corresponding frequency shifts are useful for sensing and medical applications. [24] By integrating the SLSP resonator into the SSPP waveguide, the stop-band filter and the nonreciprocal isolator have been reported. [25,26] However, the above-proposed passive SLSP structures are mainly focused on minimizing structural size, analyzing resonance mode, and acting as the auxiliary framework.…”
Under the impetus of wireless communications, metamaterials have attracted considerable attention due to their superior merits of free manipulation of electromagnetic waves and easy integration. However, most efforts to date are mainly focused on the modulation of wave information or recognition of wave intensity, while the frequency detection is rarely explored. Here, a spoof localized surface plasmon (SLSP) structure is proposed to realize reconfigurable frequency detections. By switching the bias voltage applied to the varactor, the resonance frequency of SLSP can be controlled dynamically from 1.95 to 2.35 GHz. The SLSP‐based waveguide has a relatively high quality factor due to the strongly localized field confinement. Reconfigurable frequency detection is demonstrated experimentally by monitoring the output voltage of the introduced detector. The measured and simulated results are in good agreement. This work will hold promising applications in wireless communication and sensing systems.
High Q-factor resonance holds great promise for bio-chemical sensing and enhanced light–matter interaction. However, terahertz (THz) magnetic resonances usually demonstrate low Q-factors, resulting in huge energy radiation loss particularly in high frequency bands. Here, we show that high Q-factor magnetic dipole resonance at THz frequencies can be achieved by exploiting the coherent Fano interactions with strong field enhancements in an array composed of single metallic split-ring resonators, working at Wood–Rayleigh anomalies. It can give rise to ultrahigh Q-factor beyond 104 in the THz regime. Experimentally, the measured Q-factor of dominant magnetic dipole resonance can achieve no less than a level of ∼261 by Lorentzian fitting to the experimental data. In addition, a high Q-factor of the fundamental-order magnetic dipole resonance is demonstrated beyond 30. High- Q magnetic dipole resonance is closely associated with ultralow-damping and negative permeability in the THz band. The measurements of magnetic dipole resonances are in good agreement with the theoretical analyses. Our scheme suggests a feasible route to suppress radiative loss for enhanced THz field-matter interaction.
