such as point-of-care devices and endoscopy where cameras with high resolution, speed, and sensitivity are important. Cameras with an extended wavelength sensitivity into the ultraviolet, near-infrared (IR), and deep infrared regions of the spectrum [3,4] are also becoming more widely used.The pixel is an elementary unit of the digital camera and its size imposes a fundamental constraint on the amount of information that can be recorded on a sensor with a certain area. Since compact, highresolution sensors are of greatest interest for portable devices such as mobile phones and digital cameras, a significant effort has been made in improving the image quality provided by small-area sensors. [5,6] Various technological approaches such as deep trench isolation [7] and back side illumination [8] were proposed to reduce the pixel size below 1.2 µm. Although there has been remarkable success in recent years, [9] reducing the pixel size still faces challenges in implementation and requires improvements in current technology to meet the demand for ultracompact image sensors. The operating principle of the majority of commercially available color camera sensors is based on the design shown in Figure 1a. The incoming light passes through a mosaic filter with a particular color pattern. The color filters usually incorporate dyes or pigments and transmit a particular wavelength spectrum while the remainder is absorbed. [10] These filters provide wavelength selectivity since the sensor itself has a broad wavelength response. The filtered light is then incident on an array of photodetectors. Each cell represents a single pixel and is dedicated to sensing a certain part of the visible spectrum in one region of the image. Figure 1b shows a schematic representation of cross sections through three pixels each responsible for detection of either red, green, or blue regions of the visible spectrum. The filters and the photodetector integrated circuit are fabricated separately and subsequently combined in a separate step. As the pixel size decreases, the alignment of these layers becomes challenging. Moreover, the requirement for two different fabrication processes as well as additional alignment steps increases the final cost of the camera matrix.In contrast, filters based on the phenomenon of localized surface plasmons (LSPs) provide an opportunity to decrease the pixel size to micrometer or even sub-micrometer Photodetector size imposes a fundamental limit on the amount of information that can be recorded by an image sensor. Compact, highresolution sensors are generally preferred for portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and digital cameras, and as a result, a significant effort has been invested in improving the image quality provided by small-area image sensors. Reducing photodetector size, however, still faces challenges in implementation requiring improvements in current technology to meet the demand for ultracompact imaging systems such as cameras. An issue with a decrease in size is associated with photodetectors...
