This article shows an all-dielectric metasurface consisting of “H”-shaped silicon disks with tilted splitting gaps, which can detect the temperature and refractive index (RI). By introducing asymmetry parameters that excite the quasi-BIC, there are three distinct Fano resonances with nearly 100% modulation depth, and the maximal quality factor (Q-factor) is over 10⁴. The predominant roles of different electromagnetic excitations in three distinct modes are demonstrated through near-field analysis and multipole decomposition. A numerical analysis of resonance response based on different refractive indices reveals a RI sensitivity of 262 nm/RIU and figure of merit (FOM) of 2183 RIU⁻¹. This sensor can detect temperature fluctuations with a temperature sensitivity of 59.5 pm/k. The proposed metasurface provides a novel method to induce powerful TD resonances and offers possibilities for the design of high-performance sensors.

A novel asymmetric all-dielectric metasurface supporting multiple Fano resonances with high quality-factor through the excitation of quasi-bound states in the continuum is theoretically investigated. It is demonstrated that two resonances in the near-infrared wavelength are excited by the symmetry-protected bound state in the continuum, which can be transformed into the electric dipole and the toroidal dipole quasi-BIC resonance with high quality-factor by breaking the symmetry of metasurface. Moreover, the sensing properties based on different liquid refractive indexes are researched theoretically. The results show that the maximum quality-factor of the Fano resonance peak is 8422, and the sensitivity can reach 402 nm/RIU, with a maximum figure of merit of 2400 RIU⁻¹. This research is believed to further promote the development of optical sensing and nonlinear optics.

In this paper, an all-dielectric metastructure-based high-contrast refractive index sensor is proposed. This structure can be utilized to detect various concentrations of glycerol-water mixtures by evaluating transmission spectral lines and resonant wavelength shifts related with liquid concentration detection. The experimental and calculated results of the developed sensor structure are able to excite three resonance peaks, demonstrating that the structure is capable of reaching excellent sensing capabilities. It has been established that this work has the potential to be useful in medical and biological detection; this is of great scientific and practical significance.
