Item Photonic crystal ring resonator: A promising device for a multitude applications(SPIE spie@spie.org, 2017) Yadunath, T.R.; Kumar, R.R.; Tupakula, T.; Kandoth, A.; John, K.; Ramakrishnan, R.K.; Das, P.P.; Badrinarayana, T.; Mohan, S.; Hegde, G.M.; Srinivas, T.In this paper a 2D Photonic Crystal array in SOI platform having hexagonal periodicity with a ring defect incorporated along with two bus waveguides is conceptualized and realized for various applications of optical communication, sensing etc. The ring structure filters out a resonant wavelength from the spectrum carried to it through the line defect where the resonated peak is determined by the effective ring radius. The hexagonal architecture enables more coupling length than an ideal ring structure which helps in better intensity accumulation. The resonant peak exhibited at 1554nm in simulation, which is observed in the optical characterization at 1543nm. This is attributed to the fabrication tolerance. © 2017 SPIE.Item Design and Analysis of a Novel Optical Circulator Based on Photonic Crystal for Photonic Integrated Circuit Applications(Springer New York LLC barbara.b.bertram@gsk.com, 2019) Krishnan, P.; Nasre, D.In this paper, a novel design of a 4-port optical circulator is proposed using two-dimensional square lattice photonic crystal ring resonators. This design is suitable for photonic integrated circuit applications and allows the design to function in both clockwise and anticlockwise mode. It presents the evaluated transmission of over 84%. The nanowires in this structure are made up of silicon having a refractive index of 3.46 surrounded with air. The wide range of wavelength covers the third window of transmission, so the wavelength in this range can pass across the offered design of optical circulator. The transmission range of wavelengths is calculated and analyzed. © 2019, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.Item 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.Item 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.Item Aperture-Coupled Plasmonic Ring Resonator-Based Temperature Sensor: 3-D FEM Modeling(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Thayaba Nausheen, A.; Nakul Nayak, B.V.; Khanna, A.; Singh, M.Nanophotonic ring resonators have emerged as promising candidates for sensing applications due to their high sensitivity and compact footprint. In this study, we investigated a 3-D aperture-coupled plasmonic microring resonator (AC-PMRR)-cum-plasmonic spectral shaper as a temperature sensor using finite-element method (FEM). The sensor operates based on the principle of the temperature-dependent refractive index change of the surrounding medium, which modulates the resonance characteristics of the microring. The aperture coupling technique enhances the sensitivity and allows efficient excitation of localized surface plasmon resonances. We analyzed the sensing performance of the proposed device through rigorous numerical simulations. The effects of various design parameters, such as ring radius, aperture size, and coupling distance, on the sensor's performance are systematically examined. Furthermore, we explore the influence of material properties and temperature range on the sensor's sensitivity and resolution. The proposed refractive index sensor demonstrates a high sensitivity of ~0.065 nm/K, the figure of merit of ~102 RIU1, and detection accuracy of ~0.32 nm1, making it suitable for various temperature sensing applications in fields such as environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, and industrial process control. © 2024 IEEE.Item Temperature Detection Using Plasmonic Waveguide Ring Resonator: Design and Analysis(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Nausheen, T.A.; Nikhilesh Kumar, C.; Khanna, A.; Singh, M.A 3-D-hybrid plasmonic waveguide (HPWG) cascaded ring resonator-based temperature sensor is studied in the infrared (IR) spectral regime. The proposed design achieves high sensitivity and precision in temperature measurements by integrating the unique properties of plasmonic and photonics. The HPWG enhances the interaction between the optical field and the surrounding environment, while the cascaded ring resonators provide a compact and efficient means of modulating the optical signal in response to temperature changes. Our theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate that the device exhibits a significant shift in resonance wavelength with temperature variations, leading to an enhanced sensitivity (0.37 nm/K) compared to traditional photonic sensors. The potential applications of this temperature sensor span various fields, including environmental monitoring, biomedical diagnostics, and industrial process control. It offers a promising solution for advanced temperature sensing with improved performance and miniaturization. © 1973-2012 IEEE.Item High-Q Plasmonic Resonator for Volatile Organic Compound Detection(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Mehta, S.; Shivaputra, S.; Ramesh, S.; Mandi, M.V.; Singh, M.A hybrid plasmonic waveguide (HPWG)-based resonator designs are studied for on-chip detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The HPWG, which combines dielectric and metallic layers, significantly enhances the confinement of electromagnetic field, leading to increased interaction between the guided light and the surrounding analytes. The system achieves high spectral sensitivity and narrow linewidth by integrating multiple microring resonators in a cascaded configuration. This is critical for distinguishing small changes in the refractive index (RI) associated with different VOCs. Finite element method (FEM) simulations demonstrate the superior sensing performance of a proposed device, showing a spectral sensitivity of 469.5 nm/RIU and a quality factor (QF) of 518.75. The compact design and high sensitivity make this sensor an excellent candidate for on-chip VOC monitoring in industrial safety, as well as portable breath sensors to detect VOC biomarkers for early disease diagnosis. © IEEE. 1973-2012 IEEE.
