By measuring the resonant wavelength of a two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity, a time-resolved sensing capability is demonstrated that can detect the change in refractive index of 0.002.Abstract:
We report an experimental demonstration of an ultracompact biochemical sensor based on a two-dimensional photonic crystal microcavity. The microcavity, fabricated on a silicon-on-insulator substrate, is designed to have a resonant wavelength (λ) near 1.5 µm. The transmission spectrum of the sensor is measured with different ambient refractive indices ranging from n=1.0 to n=1.5. From observation of the shift in resonant wavelength, a change in ambient refractive index of Δn=0.002 is readily apparent. The correspondence between absolute refractive index and resonant wavelength agrees with numerical calculation to within 4% accuracy. The evaporation of water in a 5% glycerol mixture is also used to demonstrate the capability for in situ time-resolved sensing.read more
