    High Sensitivity Refractive Index Sensor Based on Indium Antimonide Terahertz Plasmonic Ring Resonator
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Thomas, S.; Singh, M.; Satyanarayan, M.N.
    A high sensitivity refractive index semiconductor-insulator-semiconductor (SIS) waveguide with a ring resonator sensor at THz frequency is proposed. The topological study of the proposed filter is numerically simulated using the finite element method. A maximum sensitivity of 0.509 THz/ Refractive index unit (RIU) is obtained by filling the air-filled ring resonator cavity with different refractive index materials. Besides that, the transmission characteristics are studied by varying the structural dimensions and observed that the system can be treated as a frequency selective device. The device gets modified by incorporating another concentric ring inside the single ring. From the transmission characteristics, the multiple modes of the concentric dual ring are studied, and concluded that the even TM1 mode shows a better response towards frequency tuning. © 2001-2012 IEEE.

    Indium Antimonide-Based All-Dielectric Metasurface Absorber at Terahertz Frequency for Refractive Index Sensing Applications
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Thomas, S.K.; Shenoy, A.; Satyanarayan, M.N.
    In this article, we present an indium antimonide (InSb)-based metasurface absorber (MA) using a complementary ring structure. The proposed MA exhibits absorption characteristics in the terahertz frequency range spanning from 1.0 to 2.2 THz. Within this frequency range, the MA demonstrates dual-band tunability, achieving approximately 100% absorption. Geometric parameters such as the outer ring radii, ring width, and InSb layer thickness are systematically adjusted to fine-tune the absorption frequency of the MA. In addition, we explore the refractive index sensing capabilities by introducing different refractive index materials into the air-filled complementary ring cavity. Notably, we achieve a peak refractive index sensitivity of 555 GHz per refractive index unit (RIU) for the first absorption peak at a minimum radius of 60 µm. © 2001-2012 IEEE.
