The miniaturization of mid-infrared optical gas sensors has great potential to make the fingerprint region between 2 and 10 mu m accessible to a variety of cost-sensitive applications ranging from medical technology to atmospheric sensing. Here we demonstrate a gas sensor concept that achieves a 30-fold reduction in absorption volume compared to conventional gas sensors by using plasmonic metamaterials as on-chip optical filters. Integrating metamaterials into both the emitter and the detector cascades their individual filter functions, yielding a narrowband spectral response tailored to the absorption band of interest, here CO2. Simultaneously, the metamaterials' angle-independence is maintained, enabling an optically efficient, millimeter-scale cavity. With a CO2 sensitivity of 22.4 +/- 0.5 ppm.Hz(-0.5), the electrically driven prototype already performs at par with much larger commercial devices while consuming 80% less energy per measurement. The all-metamaterial sensing concept offers a path toward more compact and energy-efficient mid-infrared gas sensors without trade-offs in sensitivity or robustness.
