Publication Open Access Experimental demonstration of deeply subwavelength dielectric sensing with epsilon-near-zero (ENZ) waveguides(American Institute of Physics, 2022) Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Engheta, Nader; Pacheco-Peña, Víctor; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónIn this Letter, an all metallic sensor based on ε-near-zero (ENZ) metamaterials is studied both numerically and experimentally when working at microwave frequencies. To emulate an ENZ medium, a sensor is made by using a narrow hollow rectangular waveguide, working near the cutoff frequency of its fundamental TE 10 mode. The performance of the sensor is systematically evaluated by placing subwavelength dielectric analytes (with different sizes and relative permittivities) within the ENZ waveguide and moving them along the propagation and transversal axes. It is experimentally demonstrated how this ENZ sensor is able to detect deeply subwavelength dielectric bodies of sizes up to 0.04λ and height 5 × 10 −3 λ with high sensitivities (and the figure of merit) up to 0.05 1/RIU (∼0.6 1/GHz) and 0.6 1/RIU when considering the sensor working as a frequency- or amplitude-shift-based device, respectively.Publication Open Access On the performance of an ENZ-based sensor using transmission line theory and effective medium approach(IOP Publishing, 2019) Pacheco-Peña, Víctor; Beruete Díaz, Miguel; Rodríguez Ulibarri, Pablo; Engheta, Nader; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de ComunicaciónIn this paper we perform an in-depth theoretical studyofa sensing platform based on epsilon-near- zero (ENZ) metamaterials. The structure proposed for sensing is a narrow metallic waveguide channel. An equivalent circuit model is rigorouslydeduced using transmission line theory, considering several configurations for a dielectric body (analyte sample) inserted within the narrow channel, showing good agreement with results obtained from numerical simulations. The transmission line model is able to reproduce even the most peculiar details ofthe sensing platform response. Its performance is then evaluated byvarying systematically the size, position and permittivity ofthe analyte, and height ofthe ENZ channel. It is shown that the sensor is capable ofdetecting changes in the permittivity/ refractive index or position even with deeplysubwavelength analyte sizes (∼0.05λ0), giving a sensitivity up to 0.03m/RIU and a figure ofMerit∼25. The effective medium approach is evaluated by treating the inhomogeneous cross-section ofthe analyte as a transmission line filled with a homogeneous material.
