TL;DR
The proposed sensor results demonstrate the capability of the proposed structure to characterize PSA-associated bulk refractive-index variations, while molecular recognition and experimental PSA detection remain outside the scope of the present study.
A highly sensitive plasmonic refractive index (RI) sensor based on a split disc–ring resonator (SDRR) is presented and numerically analyzed. The sensor comprises a split disc surrounded by a split ring, both fabricated on a SiO₂ substrate. This structure supports coupled plasmonic modes, specifically ‘bright’ and ‘dark...

In this work, a multi-Fano resonance optical refractive index sensor based on micro-cavity–microstructure coupling is numerically investigated. The proposed structure integrates periodic gold nano-bars with a dielectric micro-cavity to form a hybrid plasmonic–photonic platform capable of supporting multiple sharp reson...
