Abstract
In this paper, we report an all-dielectric metamaterial terahertz biosensor, which exhibits a high Q factor of 35 at an 0.82 resonance peak. A structure with an electromagnetically induced transparency effect was designed and fabricated to perform a Mie resonance for the terahertz response. The biosensor exhibits a limit of detection of 100 pg/mL for cytokine interleukin 2 (IL-2) and a linear response for the logarithm of the concentration of IL-2 in the range of 100 pg/mL to 1 μg/mL. This study implicates an important potential for the detection of cytokines in serum and has potential application in the clinical detection of cytokine release syndrome.

Abstract
Based on the extraordinary electromagnetic properties of terahertz waves, such as broadband, low energy, high permeability, and biometric fingerprint spectra, terahertz sensors show great application prospects in the biochemical field. However, the sensitivity of terahertz sensing technology is increasingly required by modern sensing demands. With the development of terahertz technology and functional materials, graphene-based terahertz metasurface sensors with the advantages of high sensitivity, fingerprint identification, nondestructive and anti-interference are gradually gaining attention. In addition to providing ideas for terahertz biosensors, these devices have attracted in-depth research and development by scientists. An overview of graphene-based terahertz metasurfaces and their applications in the detection of biochemical molecules is presented. This includes sensor mechanism research, graphene metasurface index evaluation, protein and nucleic acid sensors, and other chemical molecule sensing. A comparative analysis of graphene, nanomaterials, silicon, and metals to develop material-integrated metasurfaces. Furthermore, a brief summary of the main performance results of this class of devices is presented, along with suggestions for improvements to the existing shortcoming.

Abstract
In this paper, an all-dielectric metasurface consisting of a unit cell containing a nanocube array and organized periodically on a silicon dioxide substrate is designed and analyzed. By introducing asymmetric parameters that can excite the quasi-bound states in the continuum, three Fano resonances with high Q-factor and high modulation depth may be produced in the near-infrared range. Three Fano resonance peaks are excited by magnetic dipole and toroidal dipole, respectively, in conjunction with the distributive features of electromagnetism. The simulation results indicate that the discussed structure can be utilized as a refractive index sensor with a sensitivity of around 434 nm/RIU, a maximum Q factor of 3327, and a modulation depth equal to 100%. The proposed structure has been designed and experimentally investigated, and its maximum sensitivity is 227 nm/RIU. At the same time, the modulation depth of the resonance peak at λ = 1185.81 nm is nearly 100% when the polarization angle of the incident light is 0 °. Therefore, the suggested metasurface has applications in optical switches, nonlinear optics, and biological sensors.

Quasi-BIC-Based High-Q Perfect Absorber with Decoupled Resonant Wavelength and Q Factor. ELECTRONICS 2022.

Abstract
The Q factor in a quasi-BIC-based optical device can approach infinity and has therefore been attracting the attention of many researchers in recent years. However, this mode is barely applied to absorbers since it mainly tunes the radiative loss. The resonant wavelength of quasi-BICs normally couples with the Q factor, and it is difficult to independently tune one of them while maintaining the other, which weakens the flexibility of tuning. In this work, a quasi-BIC-based high-Q perfect absorber with some unique features is proposed. It shows a decoupled relationship between the resonant wavelength and the Q factor such that these two properties can be independently tuned by changing different structure parameters. In addition, both radiative and resistive losses are tunable. An easy method is proposed to design a perfect absorber with different resonant wavelengths and different Q factors, and a near-infrared perfect absorber with a Q factor as high as 5.13 × 105 is designed. This work proposes a method to tune the quasi-BIC mode, thereby introducing a new paradigm for the design of a high-Q perfect absorber.
