However, conventional planar SRRs have their plasmon fields spread into the substrates, reducing accessible sensing volume and its sensing performance. Such a limitation can be eradicated with vertical SRRs in which the plasmon fields localized in SRR gaps are lifted off from the substrate, allowing for greatly enhanced sensitivity. Here, we demonstrate the highest sensitivity among reported SRR-based sensors in optical frequencies.
