Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Progress in nanophotonics, including plasmonics, enables novel light–matter interactions in a small volume, which facilitates the scaling-down of optical technology and potentially affords the photonics integrated in every CMOS device. Such progress stimulates the development of the wide range of nano-scaled optical sensors that can be utilized in diverse IoT applications.

This Special Issue focuses on the topics of next-generation devices, such as photodetectors, modulators and light emitting devices, based on nano-resonances or using novel materials. It also focuses on the nanophotonics-based applications, including CMOS image sensors, biosensors, optical circuits, and neuromorphic photonics.

The topics of interests include, but are not limited to:  

  • Nanophotonics: plasmonics, metasurface, optical materials, non-linear optics;
  • Optical devices: Photodetector, modulator, light emitting device;
  • Silicon photonics;
  • Biosensors;
  • Optical neuromorphic device, system and computing;
  • Optical imaging;
  • Thin film technology;
  • Electromagnetism for IoT applications

Herein, a novel cavity design of racetrack integrated circular cavity established on metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide is suggested for refractive index sensing application. Over the past few years, we have witnessed several unique cavity designs to improve the sensing performance of the plasmonic sensors created on the MIM waveguide. The optimized cavity design can provide the best sensing performance. In this work, we have numerically analyzed the device design by utilizing the finite element method (FEM). The small variations in the geometric parameter of the device can bring a significant shift in the sensitivity and the figure of merit (FOM) of the device. The best sensitivity and FOM of the anticipated device are 1400 nm/RIU and ~12.01, respectively. We believe that the sensor design analyzed in this work can be utilized in the on-chip detection of biochemical analytes. Full article
