Resumen
In this paper a labyrinth metasurface based in the new paradigm of metageometries is designed to operate in the Terahertz (THz) band as a biosensor. First, a numerical study is carried out to study the performance of the metasurface as a refractometer when working in two different configurations: transmission and reflection. Then, its performance as a fungi detector is evaluated and a comparison ...

In this paper a labyrinth metasurface based in the new paradigm of metageometries is designed to operate in the Terahertz (THz) band as a biosensor. First, a numerical study is carried out to study the performance of the metasurface as a refractometer when working in two different configurations: transmission and reflection. Then, its performance as a fungi detector is evaluated and a comparison with other devices is performed, showing that the sensitivity and Figure of Merit (FOM) can be enhanced by the use of these kind of devices, in comparison with the classical approach of metaatoms. Particularly, the designed structure is able to detect 5 fungi elements arbitrarily distributed on the unit cell, which is equivalent to a concentration of 0.004/μm 2 , improving the results available in the literature by a factor of more than 4.
