A Hybrid Photonic-Plasmonic Sensing Platform for Differentiating Background and Surface Interactions Using an Array of Metal-Insulator-Metal Resonators

In this paper, a hybrid photonic-plasmonic sensor structure based on an array of metal-insulator-metal resonators is presented. The structure is designed to improve detection and temporal resolution by increasing sensitivity and intensity as well as reducing full-width at half-maximum of the photonic and plasmonic modes. The electromagnetic fields (EMs) of the plasmonic mode are highly confined in...
