Noble metal nanostructures are known to confine photon energies to their dimensions with
resonant oscillations of their conduction electrons, leading to the ultrahigh enhancement of …

Colorimetric sensors usually suffer due to errors from variation in light source intensity, the
type of light source, the Bayer filter algorithm, and the sensitivity of the camera to incoming …

Periodic hexagonal spherical nanoparticle arrays are fabricated by a sacrificial colloidal
monolayer template route by chemical deposition and further physical deposition. The …

We present the fabrication and optical characterization of plasmonic nanostructures
consisting of nanohole arrays in two thin films, a metal and a dielectric. A novel method …

Ag thin films have a wide variety of applications in optics. However, Ag is chemically
unstable under atmospheric conditions, which significantly degrades its optical properties …

We experimentally report an enhanced refractive index sensor with a maximum figure of
merit (FOM*) value of about 1337 based on a hybrid plasmonic–photonic absorber via …
