(a) The Fano resonance shift in the transmission spectra is shown for the cylinder pair (having the hole size of 0.6D 0) with 0 wt% BTO (n = 1.6, k = 0.00376), when the environmental index, n environmental, is changed. Fano resonances in hollow dielectric resonators are found to be very sensitive to index changes in the surrounding environment. (b) Resonance shift and FoM for the cylinder pair array as a function of environmental index. The resonance shift is almost linear, and the sensitivity S is about 10.566 GHz/RIU (RIU: refractive index unit). The sensitivity gradually increases with the inner hole size, as shown in Supplementary Fig. S4. (c) The Fano resonance shift in the transmission spectra is for the cylinder pair (having the hole size of 0.6D 0) with 0 wt% BTO, when the index of the cylinder pair, n material, is changed. The resonance shift is much smaller than that of the environmental index change in (a). (d) Resonance shift and FoM for the cylinder pair array as a function of material index. The sensitivity S is about 2.910 GHz/RIU.
