Gyroidal graphene/porous silicon array for exciting optical Tamm state as optical sensor

Abstract In this study, the optical Tamm state is excited for the first time using gyroidal graphene/porous silicon one-dimensional photonic crystal terminated by a gyroidal graphene layer. The gyroidal graphene and porous silicon are used to enhance the figure of merit and sensitivity of the based...
