Tuning Characteristics of Guided Mode Resonances in 1- and 2-D Photonic Crystal Slab Biosensors

Tuning characteristics of the guided mode resonances in one- and two-dimensional (1- and 2-D) photonic crystal slab design using scattering matrix method are evaluated. This paper shows the superiority of 2-D design compared with 1-D design in terms of design flexibility considering that 2-D photonic crystal slab design requires a more mature and complex fabrication technology.
