Innovation Elements, Incubation Capacity, and Incubation Performance in Biomedical Incubation Platforms: Moderating Role of Customized Services.

Biomedical incubation platforms make full use of innovation elements, constantly absorbing, integrating, and allocating various resources and innovating the incubation service mode, an important path to improving the performance of innovation incubation. Based on resource-based theory, network theory, and value chain theory, we proposed the conceptual model and research hypothesis for the relationship between innovation elements, incubation capacity, and innovation incubation performance in biomedical incubation platforms, with customized service as a moderating variable. The empirical results show that innovation elements have a significant positive impact on the improvement and transition of incubation capacity. Incubation capacity has a significant positive impact on innovation incubation performance in biomedical incubation platforms. Customized service plays a significant positive regulatory role between incubation capacity and innovation incubation performance in biomedical incubation platforms.

Refractive index sensor based on multiple Fano resonances in a plasmonic MIM structure.

A chip-scale refractive index sensor based on multiple Fano resonances is proposed by using a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structure, which is constructed by two side-coupled semi-ring cavities and a vertical cavity. The finite-difference time-domain method and multimode interference coupled-mode theory are employed to simulate and analyze the transmission spectra of this structure, respectively. First, dual Fano resonances are generated in the MIM structure with a baffle and a semi-ring cavity. By arranging two additional cavities, the mode interferences successfully induce up to six ultra-sharp and asymmetrical Fano peaks. The calculated sensing performances are available with ultra-high sensitivity of 1405 nm/RIU and figure of merit of 3.62×105. This chip-scale refractive index sensor may have great applications in highly integrated photonic circuits.

Plasmonic-induced absorption based on an end-coupled combined resonance system of a semiannular cavity and rectangular cavity.

A semiannular rectangular composite cavity structure based on metal-insulator-metal waveguides is proposed. By adding a rectangular cavity at a suitable position around the semiannular cavity (SAC), a single analogous plasmonic-induced absorption (PIA) effect is achieved at the expected mode of the SAC structure. After adding two rectangular cavities together in the SAC system, dual analogous PIA effects for both modes can be realized simultaneously. In addition, the phase response is also studied, and abnormal dispersions are achieved in the PIA windows, which can be used in the integrated optics for fast/slow light. The performances of the proposed two-dimensional structure are analyzed and studied by the coupled-mode theory and the finite-difference time-domain method, respectively.
