Interdigital concept in photonic sensors based on an array of lossy mode resonances

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Multi-parameter detection is key in the domain of sensors. Here it is demonstrated that an indium tin oxide (ITO) nanocoating can be used to generate multiple lossy mode resonances (LMRs) in the optical spectrum.
