  • Optical sensor platform employing hyperbolic metamaterials
    Patent number: 10533941
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are optical sensor platform(s) employing hyperbolic metamaterial(s) supporting highly confined bulk plasmon guided modes over broad wavelength range(s) from visible to near-infrared. By exciting these modes using—for example—a two-dimensional (2D) grating-coupling technique, sensors according to the present disclosure advantageously exhibit extreme sensitivity modes up to a maximum of 30,000 nm per refractive index unit and a record figure of merit of 590 thereby permitting detection of ultralow-molecular-weight bio-molecules at picomolar concentrations.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 23, 2017
    Date of Patent: January 14, 2020
    Assignee: Case Western Reserve University
    Inventors: Guiseppe Strangi, Kandammathe Valiyaveedu Sreekanth, Umut Gurkan, Michael Hinczewski, Mohamed Elkabbash, Antonio De Luca
