Investigation of novel fractal shape of the nano-aperture as a metasurface for bio sensing application

Recently, nano-aperture is noticed due to its good transmission in the optical regime. Also, the nano-apertures are developed at the metasurface design for circular polarization; for this aim, various shapes of the nano-aperture are suggested. To reach this objective, we have developed a novel Jerusalem cross fractal shape for a mid-infrared application. We have simulated various formations of the nano-fractal Jerusalem cross based on a simple cross to show the effect of nano-aperture shape on electrical field enhancement in the near-field which is important in spectroscopy and optical imaging. In addition, we have used a single layer graphene over the aperture as a coat for making reconfigurable characteristic also creating a membrane for placement of nano-particle over the aperture. Implementation of the graphene is an amendment to the transfer of the nano-apertures. The biological materials with a thickness of 80 nm have been placed over the graphene layer and the Figures of Merits (FOM) have been obtained. Additionally, the prototype of nano-antenna is independent from incident wave polarization. The Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) calculations have been implemented in the simulation and modeling the nano-apertures.
