Ultra-Sensitive Graphene-Metal Hybrid Metasurface for Non-Invasive Glucose Detection with Convolutional Neural Network Integration
摘要
This investigation presents a graphene-based metasurface sensor operating in the terahertz frequency domain for non-invasive glucose detection. The sensor architecture incorporates a hybrid plasmonic structure that synergistically combines graphene with noble metals in a multi-resonator configuration, exploiting their complementary electromagnetic characteristics to enhance detection capabilities. Finite element method simulations demonstrate exceptional performance metrics such as maximum sensitivity of 1000 GHzRIU⁻1, figure of merit of 13.514 RIU⁻1 and detection limit of 0.145 RIU across the clinically relevant refractive index range. The sensor exhibits robust spectral stability across multiple terahertz bands with consistent quality factors (Q = 9.392–9.459). Also a one-dimensional convolutional neural networks is leveraged for performance prediction, achieving perfect correlation (R2 = 100%) across operational parameters. This work represents a significant advancement in non-invasive glucose monitoring technology with considerable potential for clinical diabetes management and broader biosensing applications.
