Nanophotonic devices, which control light in subwavelength volumes and enhance light–
matter interactions, have opened up exciting prospects for biosensing. Numerous …

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have attracted attention in photonics owing to their
interesting properties. For example, BICs can effectively confine light in a counterintuitive …

Nanostructured surfaces with designed optical functionalities, such as metasurfaces, allow
efficient harvesting of light at the nanoscale, enhancing light–matter interactions for a wide …

Dielectric metasurfaces have emerged as a powerful platform for novel optical biosensors.
Due to their low optical loss and strong light–matter interaction, they demonstrate several …

I review the four mechanisms of bound states in the continuum (BICs) in the application of
microwave and acoustic cavities open to directional waveguides. The most simple are …

We discuss the recent advances in meta-optics and nanophotonics associated with the
physics of bound states in the continuum (BICs). Such resonant states appear due to a …

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) provides significantly enhanced Raman
scattering signals from molecules adsorbed on plasmonic nanostructures, as well as the …

Biosensors have been designed and developed for detecting biomarkers, biomolecules,
proteins, enzymes, organisms, and various types of bacterial and viral diseases since the …

Photonic metasurfaces, that is, two-dimensional arrangements of designed plasmonic or
dielectric resonant scatterers, have been established as a successful concept for controlling …

The low performance of sensors based on an all-dielectric metasurface limits their
application compared to metallic counterparts. Here, for the first time, an all-dielectric BIC …
