Abstract

Plasmonics has drawn a lot of interest because of its exceptional ability to control the flow of light in metamaterials. Metamaterials and active plasmonic materials allow the mass manufacture of low-cost, high-performance, and effective nanosized optical components for imaging, sensing, and communications. Active materials have been presented as a potential base for tunable and customizable plasmonic devices to allow multifunctional devices. The traditional dynamic plasmonic systems can be significantly reconfigured by integrating non-volatile active materials with distinctive qualities like sharp optical variations, faster phase shifting, with more reliability. In this review, we are studying the different types of metamaterial plasmonic sensors which depend on sensing the change in the refractive indices of the sensed materials, and the effect of the active materials in enhancing the sensing and the absorption of light and we compare cutting-edge innovations and new pattern sensors in phase change materials (PCMs) and graphene. The various materials’ properties, their structural models, sensing parameters, and fabrication methods have been described. The study is finalized with a discussion of the difficulties faced in the process of tunable plasmonic sensors and prospects for potential future scopes in this exciting field.
