    Manufacture and characterization of the HDOMM. (a) Manufacturing process: (i) an EIT-like metasurface sample was prepared; (ii) a metal halide perovskite [CH3NH3PbI3 (MAPbI3)] was spin-coated on the EIT-like metasurface sample; (iii) the PI film was spin-coated on MAPbI3; (iv) graphene was transferred onto the PI film; (v) the trilayer graphene was patterned into a fishing net structure with round holes; (vi) sericin was qualitatively sensed. (b) Three optical microscope images of the different samples. (c) Unit cell of the EIT-like metasurface. The corresponding parameters are P=200 μm, l=170 μm, w=20 μm, a=130 μm, b=60 μm, c=40 μm, d=15 μme=10 μm, m=36 μm. (d) Raman spectrum of graphene. The inset is a sample of the EIT-like metasurface with the patterned graphene and MAPbI3 film. (e) X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the perovskite films. The inset is an SEM image of MAPbI3.
