Metamaterial resonator arrays for organic and inorganic compound sensing (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2011). Metamaterial resonator arrays for organic and inorganic compound sensing. In Proceedings Volume 8306, Photonics, Devices, and Systems V; 83060I (2011). https://doi.org/10.1117/12.912267

In this paper, an electromagnetic metamaterial resonator operating in the terahertz frequency range is presented. By arranging the resonator in a planar array, it is possible to use the structure as a sensing device for organic and inorganic compound...

Metamaterial-based design of biological sensors operating at THz frequencies (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
La Spada, L., Bilotti, F., & Vegni, L. (2011). Metamaterial-based design of biological sensors operating at THz frequencies.

In this contribution, we present an omega-shaped electromagnetic resonator, which is of potential interest for THz biosensors. A new analytical model for such an inclusion-type is developed, considering the effects of the fringing capacitance. After...
