Stimuli-responsive polymers (SRPs) are smart materials which can show noticeable
changes in their properties with environmental stimulus variations. Novel functionalities can …

Photonic crystal technology has attracted large interest in the last years. The possibility to
generate highly sensitive sensor elements with photonic crystal structures is very promising …

Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology, and surface micromachining in
particular, have led to the development of miniaturized optical devices with a substantial …

Refractive index sensitivity of guided resonances in photonic crystal slabs is analyzed. We
show that modal properties of guided resonances strongly affect spectral sensitivity and …

We have demonstrated the proof-of-concept of a label-free fluorescence quantitative
detection platform based on gold nanoparticle (AuNP) enhancement intrinsic fluorescence …

Using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, optical properties are investigated
for a sensor comprising a two-dimensional array of gold cubes placed on quartz pillars on a …

Photonic crystal reflector (PCR) membranes exhibit a resonantly enhanced normal-
incidence reflectivity. Many applications require this resonance to occur at a specific …

Cross-stacked gratings are introduced for refractive index sensing based on guided mode
resonance (GMR) effect. Reflection from and transmission through cross-stacked gratings is …

We demonstrate an ultracompact optical filter based on two coupled high-index contrast
GaAs photonic crystal (PhC) membranes. The PhC membranes consist of a square lattice of …

In this work, we present a novel high-sensitive optical label-free biosensor based on a two-
dimensional photonic crystal (2D PC). The suggested structure is composed of a negative …
