Hydrogenated amorphous silicon nitride photonic crystals for improved-performance surface electromagnetic wave biosensors

We exploit the properties of surface electromagnetic waves propagating at the surface of finite one dimensional photonic crystals to improve the performance of optical biosensors with respect to the standard surface plasmon resonance approach. We demonstrate that the hydrogenated amorphous silicon n...
