Interdigital concept in photonic sensors based on an array of lossy mode resonances

Abstract Multi-parameter detection is key in the domain of sensors. Here it is demonstrated that an indium tin oxide (ITO) nanocoating can be used to generate multiple lossy mode resonances (LMRs) in the optical spectrum. To achieve this, a nanocoating with a gradient in thickness is generated on th...

Interdigital concept in photonic sensors based on an array of lossy mode resonances
description Abstract Multi-parameter detection is key in the domain of sensors.
