Deep UV Silicon Polaritonic Metasurfaces for Enhancing Biomolecule Autofluorescence and Two-Dimensional Material Double-Resonance Raman Scattering

High-performance DUV spectroscopy drives advancements in biomedical research, clinical diagnosis, and material science. Existing DUV resonant nanostructures face instability and photoluminescent noise challenges. We propose robust Si metasurfaces leveraging polaritonic resonances, a unique property driven by interband transitions, for enhanced nanophotonic sensing. Our polaritonic Kerker-type void metasurface enables double-resonance Raman scattering to analyze 2D semiconductors, improves biomolecule autofluorescence, and offers superior stability. This scalable platform unlocks versatile applications in interdisciplinary DUV spectroscopy and emerging nanomaterials research.
