A double-layer Au diffraction grating—designed to operate in contact with ethanol under 780-nm illumination from the analyte side—is fabricated on a sapphire substrate using electron-beam lithography and vacuum deposition. Rigorous coupled-wave analysis reveals an asymmetric reflectance peak with steep angular variation, while numerical differentiation of the reflectance spectrum produces a sharp differential reflectance dip. Reflectance mapping combined with Rayleigh anomaly and propagating surface plasmon dispersion relations, along with quantitative near-field analysis, indicates that the observed response is consistent with a Fano-type plasmonic response involving localized and propagating plasmonic components. Angular reflectance measurements reproduce both the asymmetric reflectance peak and differential reflectance dip, in good agreement with the simulations.

The results indicate that SSPM arises from both the optical Kerr and thermo-optical effects, which contribute significantly to the refractive index modulation of the polymer solution dispersions. The intensity-dependent evolution of the SSPM patterns, particularly the increase in the number of concentric diffraction rings, was analyzed to determine the nonlinear refraction (NLR) coefficients of MEH-PPV and PBDB-T, yielding values of ~ 9.707 × 10<sup>− 11</sup> m<sup>2</sup>/W and ~ 1.281 × 10<sup>− 10</sup> m<sup>2</sup>/W, respectively. This implies that the strong third-order nonlinear optical response of these polymers makes them suitable for all-optical switching, optical modulation, and photonic devices. The time evolution of SSPM patterns was investigated in both polymers, revealing modulation of NLR coefficients, primarily due to thermally induced convection and fluid motion. It offers novel platforms for thermal metrology based on optical nonlinearity and temperature-sensitive all-optical switching. Furthermore, this study provides valuable insight into the SSPM mechanism in organic semiconducting polymer systems, paving the way for future studies and establishing a foundation for continued exploration of nonlinear optical phenomena.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"132 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00340-026-08724-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149098099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sensor features a fully symmetrical dual-core configuration with uniform air-hole diameters arranged in a hexagonal lattice, wherein two open-ring channels are incorporated on the D-shaped polished surface. One channel is coated with a gold (Au) film for RI sensing, while the other is filled with ‘polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) + Au film’ mainly for temperature sensing, thereby effectively suppressing cross-sensitivity of the two sensing parameters. First, the finite element method (FEM) is employed to numerically optimize the structural parameters, within the optimized configuration, the proposed sensor can detect the RI and T simultaneously, with a range of 1.18–1.34 and − 40 °C to 100 °C, achieving a maximum RI sensitivity of 19,000 nm/RIU when RI is 1.34 and an average T sensitivity of − 0.5 nm/℃. Then, combining the sensitivity matrix decoupling method with the segmented fitting method, the detection accuracy of dual-parameter sensing has been effectively improved. Finally, a fabrication tolerance analysis confirms that a ± 10% variation in structural parameters exerts negligible influence on the resonance wavelength, demonstrating excellent robustness. Comparative analysis with previously reported dual-parameter sensors demonstrates that the proposed sensor provides competitive advantages in terms of wide low-RI detection range, broad temperature detecting range especially for low-temperature environment, and structural simplicity, making it highly promising for applications in gas sensing, chemical analysis, biomedicine, and low-temperature industrial monitoring.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":474,"journal":{"name":"Applied Physics B","volume":"132 10","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00340-026-08723-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149133198","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, significant technical challenges remain in further improving the sensitivity and portability of methane sensors. Multipass cells (MPCs) adopted in existing sensors based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) generally suffer from limited optical path length and poor beam quality under the constraint of a small volume, which restricts the overall detection performance of the sensors. To address the above technical difficulties, in this study, a high-precision methane sensor based on a novel multipass cell named the triple-switching matrix multipass cell (TSMC) was designed and developed. The TSMC can realize triple switching of the reflection mode of the Pickett Bradley White Cell (PBWC) in three directions and has the remarkable advantages of excellent beam quality, a high ratio of optical path length to volume (RLV), and separation of incident and exit positions. The experimental results reveal that the TSMC can achieve an effective optical path length of 53.2 m with an effective optical volume of only 268.27 mL, and the RLV reaches 19.83 cm<sup>− 2</sup>, demonstrating excellent miniaturization potential.
