In this work, a refractive index sensor based on Tamm plasmons mode is proposed, capable of concurrent functionality across diverse photonic bandgaps. The proposed sensor structure consists of an analyte cavity sandwiched between a one-dimensional photonic crystal of SiO2/TiO2 and a thin metal film. Tamm resonances are observed within different photonic bandgaps. The functioning principle of this optical sensor relies on altering the refractive index of the analyte, resulting in a shift in either the transmission or reflection spectrum. The study reveals that the resonance wavelength demonstrates a linear increase with the rise in the analyte's refractive index. The study reveals that simultaneous utilization of Tamm Plasmon sensors across multiple bandgaps enables multiplexed sensing, where we can detect multiple analytes or parameters in parallel. Tamm resonance-based sensors, notable for their main advantage of prism-free coupling, offer a compelling alternative to other optical sensors like surface plasmon resonance-based sensors.

“…It is worth mentioning that TiN demonstrates some crucial assets such as amazing thermal stability, soft optical loss, and chemical inertness. Owing to its high thermal stability and high field improvements, a TiN-based photonic structure can be the appropriate candidate for optical sensing devices with high performance [24]. In general, ternary PC is chosen because it is more sensitive compared to binary PCs [25].…”

It is very important to design a rapid and sensitive device for the creatinine concentration detection due to it being one of the most considerable benchmarks for efficient kidney working. Here, a novel biophotonic sensor using one-dimensional ternary PC based on Si/TiN/SiO2 layers is proposed for the creatinine concentration detection in a blood serum sample. A central cavity layer is inserted between two equal periodic numbers. The blood sample can be infiltrated in the cavity layer with various creatinine concentrations. Based on the technique of transfer matrix, the transmittance spectra properties are investigated. The influences of variation of the incidence angle for both TE and TM polarizations and the cavity layer thickness are carefully investigated to attain the best sensitivity of the biophotonic detector. A high sensitivity of 938.02 nm/RIU is realized for the suggested detector, which is comparable to most recent works published in this area. Moreover, the proposed sensor has an inexpensive cost, real-time detection, and simple structure, which is helpful to the industrial design using low-cost product nanofabrication techniques. Based on above-mentioned outcomes, our biosensor candidate is a suitable and effective device for the detection of creatinine concentration, and it can use for any biological sample.

“…Even more surprisingly, to the best knowledge of the authors, this text ranks among the first few to consider the use of alternative 2D plasmonic materials-MXenes in the context of TPP instead of the commonly used noble metals. Actually, after an extensive literature search, we were able to locate only two papers dedicated exclusively to this topic, both from a single team (Panda et al), both published in 2022, and both dedicated to biosensing [37,38]. We feel that this important topic merits further consideration and a more general point of view.…”

New materials are of essential importance for the advancement of nanophotonics and nanoplasmonics. Numerous electromagnetic modes, especially various evanescent surface waves, prove themselves useful in multitudinous practical applications. Here we investigate the use of MXenes as alternative plasmonic materials in freestanding (substrateless) planar nanocomposites that support the existence of Tamm plasmon polaritons (TPP). We use finite element simulations to consider the influence of using MXenes on the propagation and distribution of TPP and the difference in their electromagnetic behavior compared to that of commonly used noble metals. While MXenes allow for somewhat weaker coupling between incident light and TPP, even the thinnest MXene layers practically completely screen the structure behind them. Our diffraction grating-enhanced stacks achieved incident light direction-dependent improvement of the coupling strength and polarization-dependent hybridization of electromagnetic states. MXene ensures improvements in functionality, especially spectral, directional, and polarization selectivity, by imparting rich modal behavior. Importantly, we observed high optical asymmetry of reflectance when illuminating the structures from opposite directions and obtained large high-to-low reflection ratios with a very small number of dielectric layers in the capping 1D photonic crystal. We conclude that MXenes represent a viable alternative for TPP-supporting structures, offering many advantages.
