Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Optical Sensing

Background:

  • Refractive index sensors are crucial for detecting changes in surrounding media.
  • Existing nanostructure sensors often face limitations in scalability and sensitivity.
  • Indium, a poor metal, has not been extensively explored for nanostructure-based sensing applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a large-scale fabrication method for nanostructure arrays.
  • To investigate the refractive index sensing capabilities of indium nanodot (ND) arrays.
  • To enhance sensor performance through structural engineering, specifically using a centered square lattice.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of large-scale (12 × 4 mm²) indium nanodot arrays with varying diameters and periods.
  • Optical characterization of nanostructure arrays in different media and at various incident angles.
  • Numerical simulations using Lumerical FDTD to model optical responses and electromagnetic field distributions.
  • Comparison of square lattice and centered square lattice designs for sensitivity and figure of merit (FOM) analysis.

Main Results:

  • Observed broadband absorption resonances (visible to near-infrared) tunable with incident angle and surrounding medium.
  • Achieved a 60% enhancement in sensitivity and a 190% improvement in FOM with the centered square lattice design.
  • Experimental results for resonance dip evolution correlated well with FDTD simulations.
  • Identified enhanced local electromagnetic field (E-field) near NDs in the centered square lattice as the cause for improved sensitivity.

Conclusions:

  • Demonstrated a simple, large-scale fabrication method for nanostructure arrays for refractive index sensing.
  • First experimental validation of poor-metal (indium) nanostructure arrays for refractive index sensing.
  • The centered square lattice configuration offers superior sensitivity and serves as a robust platform for more intricate sensor designs.
