Thin-film sensing with planar terahertz metamaterials: sensitivity and limitations
Open accessAbstract
The limiting effects of varying the thickness of a dielectric overlayer on planar double split-ring resonator (SRR) arrays are studied by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. Uniform dielectric overlayers from 100 nm to 16 mum thick are deposited onto fixed SRR arrays in order to shift the resonance frequency of the electric response. We discuss the bounds of resonance shifting and emphasize the resulting limitations for SRR-based sensing. These results are presented in the context of typical biosensing situations and are compared to previous work and other existing sensing platforms.

Several methods have been reported to lower the detection threshold for terahertz thin-film sensing, such as difference signals, metamaterial resonance shifts, and metal meshes.
“Various techniques have been reported to improve the detection threshold for THz thin film sensing, e. g., evaluation of difference signals, 3 resonance changes of metamaterials, 4 or the application of metal meshes to enhance the amplitude reduction of the THz bandpass.5”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
