Customizing 2.5D Out-of-Plane Architectures for Robust Plasmonic Bound-States-in-the-Continuum Metasurfaces.

Bound states in the continuum (BICs) have a superior ability to confine electromagnetic waves and enhance light-matter interactions. However, the quality-factor of quasi-BIC is extremely sensitive to structural perturbations, thus the BIC metasurfaces usually require a very-high precision nanofabrication technique that greatly restricts their practical applications. Here, distinctive 2.5D out-of-plane architectures based plasmonic symmetry protected (SP)-BIC metasurfaces are proposed, which could deliver robust quality factors even with large structural perturbations. The high-throughput fabrication of such SP-BIC metasurfaces is realized by using the binary-pore anodic aluminum oxide template technique. Moreover, the deep neural network (DNN) is adapted to conduct multiparameter fittings, where the 2.5D hetero-out-of-plane architectures with robust high quality-factors and figures of merit are rapidly predicted and fabricated. Finally, owning to its large second-order surface sensitivity, the desired 2.5D hetero-out-of-plane architecture demonstrates a detection limit of endotoxin as low as 0.01 EU mL -1 , showing a good perspective of biosensors and others.
