Fig. 4: Summary of published state-of-the-art in quality factor (Q), sensitivity (S), and resonance peak amplitude (A).

The numbers within the diamond represent the reference numbers from which these values were obtained. Filled (colored) diamonds indicate that A values are directly or indirectly reported in the literature. Unfiled (clear) diamonds indicate that A values were not reported. Plasmonic resonances generally exhibit low Q and A but high S when compared to dielectric array resonances (high Q and A, low S). Some dielectric array resonances demonstrate exceptionally high Q, albeit often at the expense of reduced A. RIU, refractive index unit
