A Naked Eye Refractive Index Sensor with a Visible Multiple Peak Metamaterial Absorber

We report a naked eye refractive index sensor with a visible metamaterial absorber. The visible metamaterial absorber consisting of a silver dendritic/dielectric/metal structure shows multiple absorption peaks. By incorporating a gain material (rhodamine B) into the dielectric layer, the maximal mag...
