Fano Resonance Based on Long Range Surface Phonon Resonance in the Mid-Infrared Region by Xiangli Zhang, Yuhan Wang, Xiang Zhao, Tianye Huang, Shuwen Zeng, Perry Shum Ping

“…Furthermore, by coupling a photonic waveguide with the LRSPhR, strong coupling between waveguide mode and long-range surface phonon polariton has been realized to form high Q Fano resonance. By employing such structure as the index sensor, it is shown that the bulk sensitivity and surface sensitivity can reach ∼9000 and 266.9 RIU^–1, respectively, which shows a great enhancement comparing with the one based on merely LRSPhR. …”
