The ideal material for nanophotonic applications will have a large refractive index at optical
frequencies, respond to both the electric and magnetic fields of light, support large optical …

A surface wave (SW) in optics is a light wave, which is supported at an interface of two
dissimilar media and propagates along the interface with its field amplitude exponentially …

We report on the direct experimental comparison of the sensitivity and figure of merit of
biosensors based either on surface plasmon polaritons on metal layers or on Bloch surface …

One-dimensional photonic crystals (1DPhCs) combined with a thin Au layer are designed to
show up the Tamm resonances with potential sensor applications. For two 1DPhCs …

At the end of the 1970s, it was confirmed that dielectric multilayers can sustain Bloch surface
waves (BSWs). However, BSWs were not widely studied until more recently. Taking …

Sensing abilities of a one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPhC) represented by a multilayer
dielectric structure are analyzed theoretically and experimentally, using a new wavelength …

We present a direct evidence of Bloch surface waves (BSWs) waveguiding on ultrathin
polymeric ridges, supported by near-field measurements. It is demonstrated that near …

We report on a highly sensitive measurement of the relative humidity (RH) of moist air using
both the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and Bloch surface wave resonance (BSWR) …

In this paper, a Bloch Surface Waves (BSW) based sensor is proposed to estimate the
haemoglobin concentration in human blood. The behaviour of the sensor is analysed using …

In this paper, we report a design of a truncated one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPhC)
comprising six bi-layers of TiO 2/SiO 2 with a termination layer of TiO 2 to realize a highly …
