Abstract:
:In this paper, a multi-band metal-insulator-metal (MIM) perfect absorber with refractive index sensing capability has been investigated in near-infrared region. The proposed structure has been studied for biomedical applications such as detection of solution of glucose in water, diagnosis of different stages of malaria infection, bacillus bacteria and cancer cells. The MIM configuration improves the sensing parameters of the biosensor due to the good interaction with the analyte. The high sensitivity and figure of merit of 2000 nm/RIU and 100 RIU-1 have been achieved, respectively. Also, the Ag-air grating in the suggested plasmonic sensor helps the localized surface plasmons excitation and makes the structure sensitive to the incident lightwave polarization. Therefore, the presented biosensor behaves like a polarization switch with the high extinction ratio and fast response time of 25.15 dB and 100 fs, respectively. The methods of equivalent circuit model and transmission matrix have been utilized to verify the simulation results, as a new challenge in near-infrared region. The new idea of multi-application plasmonic devices, the feasibility of fabrication for the presented structure and utilizing mentioned analytical methods in near-infrared region could pave the way for the future of plasmonic structures.
