    Area of Science:

    • Photonics and Plasmonics
    • Terahertz (THz) Spectroscopy
    • Chemical Sensing

    Background:

    • Terahertz (THz) waves offer unique properties for material characterization.
    • Plasmonic sensors provide high sensitivity due to electromagnetic field confinement.
    • Developing efficient THz plasmonic sensors is crucial for various analytical applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate the efficacy of a hybrid planar waveguide terahertz plasmonic sensor for sensing applications.
    • To investigate the sensor's response to variations in analyte properties like refractive index and thickness.
    • To establish the potential of this sensor for detecting chemical reactions and pollutants.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a hybrid planar waveguide sensor combining a subwavelength plastic ribbon waveguide and a diffraction metal grating.
    • Utilizing resonant reflection of subwavelength-confined terahertz plasmons from the metal grating.
    • Analyzing spectral shifts in resonant transmission dips to quantify analyte properties.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved an optimal refractive index sensitivity of 261 GHz per refractive index unit.
    • Successfully identified plastic films by thickness and granular analytes by quantity.
    • Demonstrated a minimum detectable optical path difference of 2.7 μm (λ/289) and a minimum detectable analyte amount of 17.3 nano-mole/mm² for powdered samples.

    Conclusions:

    • The hybrid planar waveguide terahertz plasmonic sensor is highly suitable for sensitive detection applications.
    • The sensor's performance is strongly correlated with analyte refractive index and thickness.
    • This THz sensing technique holds promise for real-time monitoring in chemical processes and environmental analysis.
