This question is more in regard to the resonant structures used for sensing applications, namely surface plasmon resonance, photonic crystals and guided-mode resonance based devices, etc which all show a spectral redshift on increasing the refractive index of the top region. I don't remember coming across photonic structures wherein the spectral resonant response blueshifts as we increase the top refractive index. Is it possible for a structure to do so? And if not, why?
