A Fabry-Perot cavity coupled surface plasmon photodiode for electrical biomolecular sensing

ABSTRACT: Surface plasmon resonance is a well-established technology for real-time highly sensitive label-free detection and measurement of binding kinetics between biological samples. A common drawback, however, of surface plasmon resonance detection is the necessity for far field angular resolved measurement of specular reflection, which increases the size as well as requiring precise calibration of the optical apparatus. Here we present an alternative optoelectronic approach in which the plasmonic sensor is integrated within a photovoltaic cell. Incident light generates an electronic signal that is sensitive to the refractive index of a solution via interaction with the plasmon. The photogenerated current is enhanced due to the coupling of the plasmon mode with Fabry-Pérot modes in the absorbing layer of the photovoltaic cell. The near field electrical detection of surface plasmon resonance we demonstrate will enable a next generation of cheap, compact and high throughput biosensors. Surface plasmon resonance is well established for biosensing applications, but commonly limited by complex optical detection. Here, the authors present a plasmonic sensor integrated in a photovoltaic cell, which generates an electronic signal sensitive to the solution refractive index via plasmon interaction

Critically coupled Fabry-Perot cavity with high signal contrast for refractive index sensing.

Project description:Perfect absorption at a resonance wavelength and extremely low absorption at the wavelength range of off-resonance in a one-port optical cavity is required for refractive index (RI) sensing with high signal contrast. Here, we propose and analyze an absorption-enhanced Fabry-Perot (MAFP) cavity based on a critical coupling condition in a near-infrared wavelength range. For a one-port cavity, a thick bottom Au is used as a mirror and an absorber. To achieve the critical coupling condition, a top dielectric metasurface is employed and tailored to balance the radiation coupling and the absorption coupling rates, and the one-port cavity is theoretically analyzed using temporal coupled-mode theory. We investigate two types of MAFP structures for gas and liquid. The gas MAFP cavity shows a sensitivity of ~ 1388 nm/RIU and a full-width at half-maximum of less than 0.7 nm. This MAFP cavity resolves the RI change of 5 × 10-4 with a reflectance signal margin of 50% and achieves a signal contrast of ~ 100%. The liquid MAFP cavity shows a sensitivity of ~ 996 nm/RIU when RI of liquid changes from 1.30 to 1.38. With tailoring the period of the metasurface maintaining its thickness, a signal contrast of ~ 100% is achieved for each specific RI range.

Plasmon coupled Fabry-Perot lasing enhancement in graphene/ZnO hybrid microcavity.

Project description:The response of graphene surface plasmon (SP) in the ultraviolet (UV) region and the realization of short-wavelength semiconductor lasers not only are two hot research areas of great academic and practical significance, but also are two important issues lacked of good understanding. In this work, a hybrid Fabry-Perot (F-P) microcavity, comprising of monolayer graphene covered ZnO microbelt, was constructed to investigate the fundamental physics of graphene SP and the functional extension of ZnO UV lasing. Through the coupling between graphene SP modes and conventional optical microcavity modes of ZnO, improved F-P lasing performance was realized, including the lowered lasing threshold, the improved lasing quality and the remarkably enhanced lasing intensity. The underlying mechanism of the improved lasing performance was proposed based on theoretical simulation and experimental characterization. The results are helpful to design new types of optic and photoelectronic devices based on SP coupling in graphene/semiconductor hybrid structures.

Surface plasmon polariton laser based on a metallic trench Fabry-Perot resonator.

Project description:Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in the development of small-footprint lasers for potential applications in small-volume sensing and on-chip optical communications. Surface plasmons-electromagnetic modes evanescently confined to metal-dielectric interfaces-offer an effective route to achieving lasing at nanometer-scale dimensions when resonantly amplified in contact with a gain medium. We achieve narrow-linewidth visible-frequency lasing at room temperature by leveraging surface plasmons propagating in an open Fabry-Perot cavity formed by a flat metal surface coated with a subwavelength-thick layer of optically pumped gain medium and orthogonally bound by a pair of flat metal sidewalls. We show how the lasing threshold and linewidth can be lowered by incorporating a low-profile tapered grating on the cavity floor to couple the excitation beam into a pump surface plasmon polariton providing a strong modal overlap with the gain medium. Low-perturbation transmission-configuration sampling of the lasing plasmon mode is achieved via an evanescently coupled recessed nanoslit, opening the way to high-figure of merit refractive index sensing of analytes interacting with the open metallic trench.

Chirality Enhancement Using Fabry-Perot-Like Cavity.

Project description:Chiral molecules that do not superimpose on their mirror images are the foundation of all life forms on earth. Chiral molecules exhibit chiroptical responses, i.e., they have different electromagnetic responses to light of different circular polarizations. However, chiroptical responses in natural materials, such as circular dichroism and optical rotation dispersion, are intrinsically small because the size of a chiral molecule is significantly shorter than the wavelength of electromagnetic wave. Conventional technology for enhancing chiroptical signal entails demanding requirements on precise alignment of the chiral molecules to certain nanostructures, which however only leads to a limited performance. Herein, we show a new approach towards enhancement of chiroptical effects through a Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavity formed by two handedness-preserving metamirrors operating in the GHz region. We experimentally show that the FP cavity resonator can enhance the optical activity of the chiral molecule by an order of magnitude. Our approach may pave the way towards state-of-the-art chiral sensing applications.

MEMS Tunable Metasurfaces Based on Gap Plasmon or Fabry-Perot Resonances.

Project description:Tunable metasurfaces promise to enable adaptive optical systems with complex functionalities. Among possible realizations, a recent platform combining microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) with gap-surface plasmon (GSP) metasurfaces offers high modulation efficiency, broadband operation, and fast response. We compare tunable metasurfaces operating in GSP and Fabry-Pérot (FP) regions by investigating polarization-independent blazed gratings both numerically and experimentally. Peak efficiency is calculated to be ∼75% in both cases (∼40% in measurements), while the operation bandwidth is found larger when operating in the GSP region. Advantages of operating in the FP region include relaxed assembly requirements and operation tolerances. Additionally, simulation and experimental results show that coupling between neighboring unit cells increases for larger air gaps, resulting in deteriorated efficiency. We believe the presented analysis provides important guidelines for designing tunable metasurfaces for diverse applications in miniaturized adaptive optical systems.

High-power near-concentric Fabry-Perot cavity for phase contrast electron microscopy.

Project description:Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of vitrified biological macromolecules (cryo-EM) is limited by the weak phase contrast signal that is available from such samples. Using a phase plate would thus substantially improve the signal-to-noise ratio. We have previously demonstrated the use of a high-power Fabry-Perot cavity as a phase plate for TEM. We now report improvements to our laser cavity that allow us to achieve record continuous wave intensities of over 450 GW/cm2, sufficient to produce the optimal 90° phase shift for 300 keV electrons. In addition, we have performed the first cryo-EM reconstruction using a laser phase plate, demonstrating that the stability of this laser phase plate is sufficient for use during standard cryo-EM data collection.

Fabry-Perot cavity resonance enabling highly polarization-sensitive double-layer gold grating.

Project description:We present experimental and theoretical investigations on the polarization properties of a single- and a double-layer gold (Au) grating, serving as a wire grid polarizer. Two layers of Au gratings form a cavity that effectively modulates the transmission and reflection of linearly polarized light. Theoretical calculations based on a transfer matrix method reveals that the double-layer Au grating structure creates an optical cavity exhibiting Fabry-Perot (FP) resonance modes. As compared to a single-layer grating, the FP cavity resonance modes of the double-layer grating significantly enhance the transmission of the transverse magnetic (TM) mode, while suppressing the transmission of the transverse electric (TE) mode. As a result, the extinction ratio of TM to TE transmission for the double-layer grating structure is improved by a factor of approximately 8 in the mid-wave infrared region of 3.4-6 μm. Furthermore, excellent infrared imagery is obtained with over a 600% increase in the ratio of the TM-output voltage (Vθ = 0°) to TE-output voltage (Vθ = 90°). This double-layer Au grating structure has great potential for use in polarimetric imaging applications due to its superior ability to resolve linear polarization signatures.

Tapered high-gain Fabry-Perot cavity antenna with high sidelobe suppression for 5G industry.

Project description:We propose a Fabry-Perot cavity (FPC) antenna to suppress a sidelobe level (SLL) while maintaining a reasonably high gain. Generally, conventional FPC antennas (FPCAs) produce a high SLL because waves in their FPC leak considerably through lateral openings, which is a primary reason for lowering antenna gains. We propose two design approaches to solve this problem: the reflection magnitude tapering of a partially reflective surface (PRS) and considering different incident modes for the PRS design. First, the proposed tapering can remarkably reduce an SLL by providing the PRS with more radiation opportunities. Second, the different incident modes of transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) can increase an antenna gain by considering a more realistic illumination environment of the PRS. We have proven that our antenna provides 19.8 dBi realized gain with high sidelobe suppression (SLS) of more than 23 dB. Consequently, the proposed FPCA can suppress sidelobes significantly while maintaining a high gain. Good agreement between simulations and experiments demonstrates the usefulness of our proposal.

Optical 'magnetic mirror' metasurfaces using interference between Fabry-Perot cavity resonances in coaxial apertures.

Project description:Here we propose and computationally demonstrate a quasi-planar metasurface consisting of arrays of pairs of concentric coaxial apertures in a metallic film. The structure relies on destructive interference between Fabry-Pérot modes excited in each aperture at resonance producing transmitted fields that interfere destructively leading to suppressed transmission. Conversely, we show that in the case of a perfect conductor, near-perfect, broadband reflection can be achieved with zero phase change in the electric field and a variation of 2π on passing through the coincident resonances. Extending the concept to shorter wavelengths, we show that mirrors exhibiting close to a 2π phase excursion, albeit with a reduction in the amplitude reflection coefficient at resonance and a lower Q, can be also achieved. Structures such as these can be used to enhance light-matter interactions at surfaces and act as high impedance ground planes for antenna applications.

Transformation optics with Fabry-Perot resonances.

Project description:Transformation optics is a powerful tool to design various novel devices, such as invisibility cloak. Fantastic effects from this technique are usually accompanied with singular mappings, resulting in challenging implementations and narrow bands of working frequencies. Here in this article, Fabry-Pérot resonances in materials of extreme anisotropy are used to design various transformation optical devices that are not only easy to realize but also work well for a set of resonant frequencies (multiple frequencies). As an example, a prototype of a cylindrical concentrator is fabricated for microwaves.
