Plasmonic sensors are ideally suited for the design of small, integrated, and portable
devices that can be employed in situ for the detection of analytes relevant to environmental …

Food packaging encompasses the topical role of preserving food, hence, extending the shelf-
life, while ensuring the highest quality and safety along the production chain as well as …

In this paper, an optical refractive index (RI) sensor based on a hybrid plasmonic-photonic
crystal (P-PhC) is designed. In the sensor's structure, some metallic rods are embedded in a …

We explore one-dimensional photonic crystal structure with defect layer to be used as
optical sensor to detect waterborne bacteria in pure water. The transmission spectra of the …

Photonic crystals are widely used in sensors, photocatalysts, remote communication, and
optical computing on account of their unique photonic band gap and photonic localization. In …

Identification or detection of pathogenic microbes is one of the most important aspects to
prevent and/or treat bacterial infection. In this study, we report a facile yet versatile strategy …

The development of robust bioanalytical devices and biosensors for infectious pathogens is
progressing well with the advent of new materials, concepts, and technology. The progress …

Food safety become a hot issue currently with globalization of food trade and food supply
chains. Chemical pollution, microbial contamination and adulteration in food have attracted …

Noble metal (NM)-modified wide-bandgap semiconductors with activity under visible light
(Vis) irradiation, due to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), known as plasmonic …
